Waterlily · 4–4.7"Light BlendCor Geerlings (2009)Netherlands

Apricot Desire is a waterlily dahlia that opens 4–4.7" blooms with Light Blend coloring. Warm apricot petals fade to soft pale peach at the edges, giving each bloom a gentle, layered glow that stands out in a mixed bucket or on its own in a vase. Strong stems, a tidy branching habit, and reliable production from midsummer through frost make this a variety growers return to year after year. It was bred in Netherlands by Cor Geerlings in 2009.

Growing Apricot Desire

Plant in full sun after your last frost date. Pinch the central shoot once your plant has several sets of leaves to push more branching stems. Stake early, as your plant will fill out quickly. Cut stems regularly to keep production going right through the season.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Staking recommended once buds set
