Blyton Softer Gleam is an instant favorite for its productivity and stunning petals that almost look hand-painted with light orange streaks of gold. These are simply a cup of sunshine.
Bloom Size: Small (3-4”)
Form: Ball
Color Story: Peach-blush pastel with soft warm highlights; gentle, romantic, and dreamy.
Best For: Long lasting bouquets with a cheerful disposition
Vase Life: 5-9 days
Notes: This was truly the first dahlia we grew that captured my heart. I am obsessed with their tight geometric ball form and beautiful coloring.
Dahlias thrive in full sun and warm soil (above 50°F). Depending on how many you intend to plant you can either dig a trench or individual holes. Place tubers about 4-6” deep horizontally with the eye/sprout facing up (if visible) and cover lightly with soil. If potting up indoors first, you can plant with neck above the soil line so you can monitor sprouting. Avoid watering until shoots emerge to prevent rot. Once established, they’ll bloom nonstop until frost.
