Clearview Peachy is SUCH a prolific bloomer and one that I was able to get the most clones out last winter… over 150+ from several tuber clumps.

She is also consistently one of the tallest dahlias in my field and an absolute workhorse when it comes to production and propagation. The plants put out long, strong stems and just keep sending up blooms throughout the season.

Her soft peach & pink warmth works incredibly well in bouquets, especially alongside creams, blushes and some of the more muted varieties I grow.

The more I evaluate my dahlias as cut flowers, the more I realize that being beautiful is only part of the equation. I’m looking for varieties that produce heavily, have good stem length, hold up well in a vase and actually earn the space they take up in the field.

Clearview Peachy has been one of those varieties for me! 🤍 Definitely getting more space next year.

October 1st means we are running out of time and dahlia season is winding down quickly.

In Massachusetts, our first frost is typically somewhere around October 15th, which means if the weather cooperates, we’ll be lucky to get another two weeks of flowers. I’m using these last few cuts to pay close attention to what each variety has done for me this year.

With thousands upon thousands of named varieties in just the United States alone, it would be impossible to grow them all, let alone really get to know every one of them. I am still learning so much about what I grow.

My goal isn’t to grow the most varieties either. It’s to find the ones that perform best for what I’m doing here.

That means prolific bloomers, long strong stems, good vase life and flowers that work well in bouquets. There are so many gorgeous dahlias, but every grower eventually has to decide what earns space based on their own goals and operation.

And “Sweet Sanne” is a variety I am really torn on.

She’s sooo beautiful, with really pretty warm sunset coloring that works easily into bouquets. Her blooms are fairly substantial at around 4-5” across. Not quite dinner plate territory, but definitely larger than a lot of the flowers I naturally reach for when building bouquets. So for now, she’s sitting in my “maybe” pile for next year.

I get asked pretty often if I offer tours. I love that people are interested enough in what I’m doing here to want to see it in person. Unfortunately, you’d be really disappointed learning that a working cut flower farm doesn’t look like the photos of other flower farms that you are seeing on Pinterest or your news feed.

My flowers are grown to be harvested at the first opportune moment. I’m constantly cutting blooms as they reach the perfect stage and sending them into bouquets then straight up to the farm stand. The empty patch means it’s doing exactly what I planted it to do.

These rows are always in motion. Some dahlias have just been cut, some are just budding and others are getting ready for their turn.

Those incredible photos of farms with seas of dahlias blooming all at once are growing primarily for tuber and seed production. The flowers can remain on the plants because the crop they’re ultimately harvesting isn’t the bloom itself. It’s either the tubers underground or the seeds that develop in the spent flower heads. They may also leave blooms on for variety evaluation, photography or simply because they don’t need to harvest every stem for cut flowers.

So I may not be able to offer the sweeping, full-bloom farm tour people imagine, but I can keep showing you what happens behind the bouquets you take home. 🤍

The “nor’easter” brought us an insane 7.4” of rain and thankfully, only mild winds, which is truly a relief because it means dahlia season isn’t being cut short.

Ahead of the storm, we went through and deadheaded all of the emerging flowers to keep the plants from becoming too top-heavy, then made sure everything was properly supported to help withstand the weight of all that rain. As soon as the patch starts producing again, I’ll be right back to cranking out bouquets!

Very grateful to have such a helpful and proactive farm hand who is always addressing my needs with the infrastructure around here. He is responsible for most of the behind-the-scenes work that keeps these plants standing and makes growing all of these treasures possible.

While the field dries out, I’m inside working on more cuttings for next year’s crop. Today’s cuttings will become mother plants that I’ll continue propagating from over the coming months, eventually producing many more plants to go out into the field next season.

Multiplying my inventory early, largely from my own stock, helps keep costs down while giving me much more control over what I grow, how many plants I produce of each variety, and the health and quality of the stock going into the field. It’s a lot of work happening very early for a crop that won’t be planted out until next year, but this is where next season really starts.

20th Ave Ingrid 💜

I wasn’t quite prepared for how pretty this other purple variety would be in person. Between her and Isabel, I am torn, this orchid color is SO good! I swear the 20th Ave dahlias just don’t miss. I will be spending the entire winter cloning so that I can offer rooted cuttings in the spring to share with whoever wants them.

Sweet Nathalie 🩷

A Dutch-bred dahlia introduced by Pieter Lindhout in 2006 and one that has become a favorite among cut flower growers for good reason. Classified as a BB formal decorative, Sweet Nathalie produces 4–6” blooms in the softest blend of blush pink and creamy ivory on long, strong stems. I will definitely be multiplying my stock of this beauty for next year… I can’t wait to make full bouquets of JUST this variety!
