Wizard of Oz

Soft shell-pink blooms with a luminous glow. Wizard of Oz is a beloved miniature ball dahlia that brings sweetness and consistency to the cutting garden. The colour is gentle but noticeable, the form is perfectly rounded, and the plants are famously productive. This is one of those varieties growers come back to year after year because it simply works.

At Franklin & Co. Flower Farm, Wizard of Oz holds a special place, she’s our unofficial mascot. That signature shell-pink colour is woven through our brand and our fields, showing up in bouquets, market bunches, and throughout the season. Reliable, beautiful, and endlessly cheerful, she represents everything we love about growing dahlias: abundance, softness, and joy.

Form: Miniature Ball
Bloom size: ~2–3″
Site: Full sun
Days to maturity: ~80–100 days
Plant spacing: 12–18 in
Pinch: When plants reach ~12 in tall to encourage branching and increased stem count

Plant notes for Canadian farms:
Expect compact plants around 3–4 ft tall with excellent branching and very high stem counts. Wizard of Oz is widely recognized as a cut-flower staple, prized for its uniform blooms, long vase life, and easy handling. The soft pink colour reads clean and bright in northern light and mixes beautifully with whites, blush tones, peaches, and pastels — making it ideal for market bunches, wedding work, and bouquet subscriptions. Because the blooms are small and plentiful, this variety is especially valuable in high-yield cutting beds where efficiency matters. Staking is rarely required, though helpful in very windy locations.
