Description:
Peaches and Cream is one of the most beloved dahlias for its luminous, watercolor-like blend of creamy peach and soft rose tones. Each bloom is a masterpiece of gentle color transitions — from creamy ivory centers to peach-pink petal tips that glow in morning and evening light. The blooms are large and fully double, with petals arranged in graceful symmetry that gives them a soft, romantic form.
Highly productive and consistent, Peaches and Cream produces long, strong stems ideal for cutting. Its balanced structure and warm, inviting color palette make it a favorite among floral designers for weddings and seasonal arrangements. In the garden, the blooms bring a sense of harmony and brightness that pairs beautifully with both pastel and deep-toned companions.
Growing & Cut Notes:
Space plants 12 – 18 inches apart to maintain airflow and reduce disease pressure.
Pinch when plants reach about 12 inches tall to encourage fuller branching and more stems.
Harvest blooms when approximately three-quarters open to ensure maximum vase life.
Provide staking or netting to support tall stems and prevent lodging in wind or rain.
Dahlias are frost-tender; dig and store tubers after the first frost in cooler climates.
Best For:
Wedding bouquets, warm-toned floral arrangements, romantic garden borders, and cut-flower production for designers seeking creamy, sun-washed tones.
