Description:
Bloomquist Tory is a radiant and distinctive dahlia celebrated for its warm, peachy-apricot tones infused with subtle rose undertones. Each bloom opens into a full, rounded form with slightly twisted petals that give it a dynamic sense of movement and texture. The coloration varies gracefully throughout the season, sometimes leaning toward coral or amber in high light and softening to a warm blush in cooler weather.
The plants are strong and upright, producing an abundance of long-stemmed blooms ideal for cutting. Bloomquist Tory is prized by growers and floral designers alike for its high productivity, rich coloring, and elegant yet approachable character. It brings warmth, balance, and a touch of golden romance to any bouquet or garden display.
Growing & Cut Notes:
Space plants 12 – 18 inches apart to promote healthy airflow and even light exposure.
Pinch plants when they reach about 12 inches tall to encourage branching and multiple stems.
Harvest when blooms are roughly three-quarters open for best vase life.
Provide staking or netting to support tall stems, particularly during peak bloom.
Lift and store tubers after the first frost in colder climates to ensure next year’s success.
Best For:
Wedding and event arrangements, warm-toned floral palettes, professional cut-flower production, and garden displays where soft movement and warm glow are desired.
