Bloomquist York comes from Paul Bloomquist in United States. Late-summer borders snap into focus when these deep burgundy heads open and blush outward to rust and copper at the petal tips. That moody gradient sets Bloomquist York apart from flat reds and gives arrangements a hand-painted richness. Bloomquist York is an informal decorative dahlia that opens 5–6" blooms in red.

Growing Bloomquist York

Stake each plant firmly at planting time, before stems reach knee height, because plants routinely top six feet and snap in summer wind without support. Pinch the growing tip above the fourth leaf pair to encourage more branching and better stem count. Feed with a low-nitrogen bloom formula every two weeks once buds form, and cut stems early in the morning with a sharp knife for the best hold after harvest.

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