Bloomquist Blush

Bloomquist Blush is easy to love. It's in my top five every year. The color and stems are perfect for design work. It can be a hard to come by variety, but it is definitely worth waiting for. Vase life for this variety is heavily reliant upon what stage the flower is harvested. We found that if the flowers were harvested in the morning, when the bloom was about half open, the vase life would be 6 days on average. If harvested when the petals were fully open (see third photo) the vase life was reduced to 4 days on average. Bloomquist Blush is a prolific bloomer and tuber producer. 

Flower type: Stellar
Flower Size: 4"-5"

This listing is for one (1) dahlia tuber. All tubers will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail beginning in April, weather permitting.

Shipping: Please note that I do NOT ship internationally.

All tubers will begin shipping in April, weather permitting. This is to prevent risk of tubers freezing during shipment. Please open your package immediately and report any issues within 14 days. Tubers are perishable and will need to be kept in a cool (but not freezing, dry, dark place until planting. 

Pest and disease prevention: Bloomtown Flowers is inspected during the growing season by the WSDA (Washington State Department of Agriculture) for disease & pests.

In order to prevent disease, we follow a regimented integrated pest management program and disinfect all tools between plants when cutting flowers and dividing tubers. My goal is to get you happy, healthy tubers and plants.

Ordering: Placing a tuber in your cart does not guarantee it will be available before checkout. I am a very small farm and my stock on some varieties is limited. Some varieties will go quickly.

Once an order has been placed, I cannot add or subtract items. If you want any additional tubers not included in your original purchase, please place a new order. At this time, I am unable to combine separately placed orders.

Dahlia care: Wait until all danger of frost is past before planting. Dahlias should not be planted outdoors until ground temperature reaches 55-60 degrees. Hold off planting if the forecast is predicting rain. Overwatering newly planted tubers may lead to rot.

Dahlias thrive in rich, well-drained soil. Use slug and snail bait at planting, don't wait until the sprout appears.

Dahlias should be planted in full sun in a location that receives a minimum of 6-8 hours of sun.

Most dahlias grow quite tall and require support, similar to tomato plants.

Most importantly, I hope these tubers grow into beautiful plants that bring you joy for years to come. Thank you for supporting my small business!
