2025 Variety Highlight- Who I’m Loving Right Now!

It’s really fun but also hard to write these because who I’m loving changes weekly. But here are a few stars/standouts so far this year!

20th Ave Gwen: Some of you doubted me when I said yellow was going to be big this year. I’ve sold every yellow dahlia I can cut this year.
From left to right: 20th Ave Gwen in her July Coloring, late August/September coloring, Early October coloring, comparison of 20th Ave Gwen and Coseytown Gale (left side and bottom blooms) Coloring is currently yellow with a little hint of pink in mid September, definitely heading towards the 3rd photo.

Sweet Nathalie- an oldie but a goodie. Because of our cooler weather this fall, she’s been running more blush than lavender and she’s won me over again. Plus she’s just so darn reliable!

Sylvia- I was discussing with a customer this morning how she’s the perfect orange- not too bright but doesn’t get lost. Perfect Fall Orange color!

20th Ave Memory- 4th year growing this one and she’s definitely hear to stay! Really just the most perfect blush. Left/middle photos from early September and then she goes a bit lighter- more white/blush but still very warm looking by October.

Jabber box- I’ve been a little on the fence about this one but she complements the raspberry colors I keep getting asked for. Good tuber maker and easy to grow so probably another year for it!

Just a few varieties that are really pumping out the blooms, my customers are loving and are making my day!

PS— I also want you to notice that there’s not a single unicorn on this list. Nothing wrong with unicorns but if you are looking for heat tolerant dahlias, there aren’t a lot of unicorns that work well. All but the 20th Ave varieties are many years old and easy to find/affordable dahlias.
