20th Ave Morning Mist opens in a soft, even wash of lavender-violet, each round bloom carrying the same calm tone from its tight center spiral out to the last row of petals. Rich Gibson hybridized it in 2019 at 20th Avenue Dahlias, and the variety earned a Derrill W. Hart Medal on the strength of its consistent form and high bench scores across multiple trial gardens. It was bred in United States by Rich Gibson in 2019.

Growing 20th Ave Morning Mist

Pinch at four to five nodes when plants are young to encourage the branching that drives stem count. Stake early -- at full height these plants are top-heavy and snap in wind. Water deeply and let the top of the soil dry between sessions to keep the root zone healthy without rotting tubers. Cut at full color in the cool of early morning, strip the lower leaves, and condition in water for several hours before arranging.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
