Breeder’s Notes:
Bell’s Sunnyside Up came from a cross between a large white dinnerplate dahlia and a platinum-blonde anemone, and somehow managed to inherit the exuberance of both.
This is a tall, large and slightly wild dahlia, reaching up to 6' with blooms around 5–6" across. Long, loose outer ray florets give the flower an almost windswept appearance, surrounding a shaggy anemone-style center of warm cream, butter yellow and gold.
There’s nothing particularly neat or restrained about Sunnyside Up. The outer petals twist, curl and occasionally seem to head off in whatever direction they like, while the densely packed disc florets create a wonderfully unruly center.
Despite its size, the soft ivory and buttery-yellow coloring keeps the flowers surprisingly light and airy. It’s an unusual combination of dinnerplate scale and anemone form - big, cheerful and a little bit wild.
