Miniature Ball · 2–3.5"RedPaul Bloomquist (2018)United States

Bloomquist Paul Jr was bred in United States by Paul Bloomquist in 2018. Round cardinal blooms sit like lacquered buttons on every stem, cutting through a green border the way a stoplight cuts through fog. The Bloomquist name carries forty years of Pacific Northwest breeding weight, and this namesake lives up to it with blooms that hold their shape from field to farmers market table. It also holds its form on the show bench.

Growing Bloomquist Paul Jr

Pinch the center when your dahlia hits a foot tall so you get branching and more bloom count. Stake early since the stems are strong but your plants grow vigorously and get top-heavy in summer storms. Give full sun and steady water through the hottest weeks, and you will pull armloads of uniform round blooms from each clump.

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