Description:
‘20th Ave Softer Peach’ is a beautifully refined dahlia cultivar celebrated for its soft, warm peach-to-coral blooms with subtle blush undertones. The petals open with a clean, formal decorative form, creating a graceful and symmetrical flower head of approximately four inches. As the season progresses, the blooms gently mature, displaying warmer peach tones or a light golden tip that adds depth and texture. The combination of gentle hue and structured form makes this variety instantly appealing for both garden display and cut flower production.
The plants are strong, upright, and consistently productive—ideal for growers and designers looking for reliability and elegance. With long, sturdy stems and an abundance of bloom production, ‘20th Ave Softer Peach’ performs admirably in cutting gardens and bouquet work, while the soft color makes it especially suited to wedding and seasonal arrangements featuring pastel, blush, or peach-toned palettes.
Growing & Cut Notes:
Space plants 12 – 18 inches apart to allow sufficient airflow and promote healthy branching.
Pinch when plants reach approximately 12 inches tall to encourage multiple stems and fuller growth.
Harvest when blooms are roughly three-quarters open (before full flare) for optimal vase life and structure.
Provide staking or netting support if stems carry multiple blooms or if plants are exposed to wind or heavy rain.
Note: Dahlias are frost-sensitive—tubers should be lifted and stored after the first frost in colder growing zones.
Best For:
Wedding bouquets, pastel and peach-toned floral arrangements, cutting gardens, and elegant midfield garden displays where color and consistency are valued.
