Description

Second only to ‘Café au Lait’ in popularity, this amazing new (to us) variety has stolen the hearts of everyone who has visited our garden. The large glowing peach petals are backed by the softest purple haze, giving the flowers a dusty heirloom quality rarely seen in a dahlia. The large plants are smothered in flowers all season long and produce buckets and buckets of blooms that are perfect for flower arranging and wedding work. A must grow!

Harvesting/Vase Life

Cut when blooms are three-quarters of the way open, but not overly ripe. To do this, check the back of each flower head, looking for firm and lush petals versus papery or slightly dehydrated ones. Place into water with hydrator, or sear stem ends by placing into 160-180* water and allow to cool for 1 hour. Blooms will last 5-6 days.
