Our Varieties

A sampling of our dahlia varieties.

With an honest review of growth characteristics in our semi-arid growing environment.

Northwind Candy Corn

Large 8-10″ | Semi Cactus | Bicolor

A rare seedling from Clearview Edie x Clearview Jonas or Lily (both pollen mixed in)

Unique color, looks like a firework exploding

Very precise form, can be slower to rebloom mid-summer, similar to its parent

Likely has show potential

Small 4-6″ | Formal Decorative

Stark raspberry picotee, darker reverse

Lots of sparkle on the petals (or dahlia glitter, pixie dust or whatever we’re calling it)

We haven’t quite been able to grow it to show quality, but it makes for a great cut flower

For us, base colors tend to be lighter (more white) mid-summer; a bit darker pink on early and later blooms

Good stems, highly spider mite resistant, people really like it

Small 4-6″ | Informal Decorative (maybe)

Unique lavender color with dark purple picotee and reverse

Long stems, glitter on petals

Some blooms can be clock faced, the color makes it worth growing

Highly spider mite resistant

Named after a friend and local florist who uses our dahlias in arrangements; she liked this one a lot

Other seedlings we’re growing on.

Medium 6-8″ | Incurved Cactus | Dark Red

Amazing dark red swirly blooms

Spider mite resistant

Has a short neck on the primary blooms, secondary stems are fine

Small 4-6″ | Straight Cactus | Orange

Spider mites love this one too; the precise cactus form keeps us growing it

Small 4-6″ | Formal Decorative | Orange

Light orange with dark orange pencil lines on petals

Small 4-6″ | Formal Decorative

Pale orange/bronze with magenta reverse

More bronze mid-summer in full sun, more orange in the fall

Spider mite resistant, strong grower

A few of the newest seedlings flagged for another year.

Small 4-6″ | Formal Decorative

Non-fading, orange with bright red picotee and reverse

Light dusting of red on petals

Dark stems, highly spider mite resistant
