GardenGenetics (G2) has relaunched its Dahlightful Dahlia brand through the GardenChoice group.
These compact growers, with gorgeous blooms set off by deep chocolate foliage and exceptional tolerance to most powdery mildew strains, are now widely available as unrooted cuttings and rooted liners.
“Consumers love Dahlightful Dahlias because they can enjoy the gorgeous flowers all summer long. Plants continue to bloom from late spring through fall against a backdrop of colorfast dark leaves, while maintaining their compact, dense growing habit,” said Rick Grazzini, owner of G2. “Retailers, and by extension, growers can take advantage of the rich, jewel-toned flower hues to stock late summer color for repeat shoppers.The relaunch offers more opportunities than ever for all sections of the market to capitalize on the groundbreaking genetics.”
Dahlias for landscape and container use
The Dahlightful series produces from early through late in the season. All five everblooming Dahlightful colors are adapted to growing almost everywhere in the U.S. and Canada. They’re upright with tidy compact habits, growing 20-28″ tall.
Dahlightful Dahlias are available for 2019/2020 orders in five colors:
- Georgia Peach
- Lively Lavender
- Crushed Crimson
- Sultry Scarlet
- Tupelo Honey
Additional flower colors and new genetics are in the pipeline for 2020/2021.
