Description:
Fawn is a refined waterlily-type dahlia cherished for its sophisticated blush and beige tones. Each bloom opens in layers of perfectly symmetrical petals that shift in color from soft creamy nude to warm rose and pale taupe, depending on temperature and light. The effect is a muted, romantic palette that photographs beautifully and complements nearly every color scheme.
The plants are tall, upright, and reliable producers of strong stems bearing full, cup-shaped blooms. Fawn is highly sought after by designers for wedding and event work, where its neutral, antique hues add timeless elegance and texture to arrangements.
Growing & Cut Notes:
Space plants 12 – 18 inches apart to ensure good airflow.
Pinch when plants reach about 12 inches tall to encourage branching.
Harvest when blooms are approximately three-quarters open for best vase life.
Provide staking or netting to support tall stems.
Dahlias are frost-tender; lift and store tubers after the first frost in cold climates.
Best For:
Luxury wedding bouquets, neutral and blush floral palettes, garden borders, and cut-flower production.
