Why you want Dahlia Blyton softer gleam in your garden
Dahlia 'Blyton Softer Gleam' – from golden glow to soft apricot
Dahlia 'Blyton Softer Gleam' is a flower that will surprise your garden time and again. Its round, ball-shaped flowers open in a warm, rich golden orange and gradually change color. As the petals unfold, the glow lightens, and the flower finishes in a soft apricot hue. This natural interplay of colors makes each flower unique and gives the plant a soft, almost dreamy appearance.
Flowering and growth
Dahlia 'Blyton Softer Gleam' blooms from summer until the first frost and continues to produce new flowers. The compact, ball-shaped flowers have perfect symmetry and stand firmly on their stems, making them a stunning addition to both borders and vases. The more flowers you pick, the more abundantly she will bloom, so you can enjoy her warm glow all summer long.
Location and care
This dahlia prefers a sunny spot and thrives in well-drained, fertile soil. Plant the tubers a few centimeters deep in spring, leaving plenty of space between them to allow the plants to develop properly. Water regularly during dry spells and remove spent flowers to prolong flowering. In winter, dig up the tubers and store them in a frost-free location, or protect them with a thick layer of straw during mild winters.
Why choose Dahlia 'Blyton Softer Gleam'?
This dahlia is remarkable for its color gradient: from a deep golden orange bud to a soft apricot bloom. The spherical silhouette adds texture, while the warm hues convey a sense of softness and wonder. It's robust enough for a vase, yet also playful and inviting in a border.
Combination tip
