Formal Decorative · 5–6"PinkGitts (2007)United States
Peaches and Dreams opens in soft peach that melts into a warm yellow center, giving each bloom a sunrise quality. Gitts introduced it in 2007, and it became a favorite with flower farmers who want a reliable peach blend that arranges beautifully with roses, cafe au lait tones, and pastel cosmos. Color shifts with weather, leaning pinker in heat and more yellow in cool snaps, adding welcome variation across every cut. It was bred in United States by Gitts in 2007.

Growing Peaches and Dreams
Stake early because stems reach chest height and carry many laterals at once. Pinch the center shoot above the fourth leaf pair to push side branching. Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds appear to keep color strong and stems sturdy. Water deeply at the base and mulch to steady soil moisture during hot spells, which helps preserve peach tones. Cut when outer petals are fully open for the cleanest color blend.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
