When I saw the first flower from this seedling 3 years ago, I was quietly excited! Perfect form and size (chunky but not too big), and an exquisite colour with a whisper of blush and a hint of dirt. I know it’s a bit unusual to describe your dahlia as a dirt colour, but this is definitely what I would call a dirty blush…and she even has intriguing earthy stripes on the back of her petals. This photo is probably the most blush she has presented herself, often she is much paler.
There’s something intimate about whispers! You usually don’t just whisper in anyone’s ear – it’s got to be someone who you feel quite close to. I still get a little happy thrill every time I spot her blooms opening…she’s a keeper for sure!
HOME TRUTHS ABOUT BLUSH WHISPER
Approx Bloom Size, 8-10cm
Like all pale dahlias, prone to showing thrip damage (so keep those critters under control!)
I wouldn’t say she’s one of my superstar prolific producers, but she makes up for it with class.
