Formal Decorative · 4–6"PinkPaul Bloomquist (2020)United States
Bloomquist Alan opens in a shifting wash of warm peach, honey, and soft pink that deepens or brightens with temperature swings, so no two picking days look quite the same. The tightly spiraled petals hold their shape well into summer heat, and the tall, sturdy stems keep flowers well above the foliage. Bred by Paul Bloomquist and introduced in 2020, it quickly became a florist favorite for its reliable output and versatile color. It was bred in United States by Paul Bloomquist in 2020.

Growing Bloomquist Alan
Stake early, as plants regularly reach five feet and will topple in wind without support. Pinch at four to five leaf pairs to encourage branching and more stems per plant. Water deeply and consistently, especially during hot spells when the peach tones are most vivid. Cut in the early morning before buds are fully open to extend freshness, and remove spent blooms promptly to keep production going through frost.
- Spacing
- Space about 3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
