Formal Decorative · 3.5–4.5"LavenderNaomi "Noni" Morrison (2019)United States

Salish Twilight Girl was bred in United States by Naomi "Noni" Morrison in 2019. Cut it in the morning and the matte hazy face reads silver-lavender in any light. By evening the petals curl inward, flashing the boysenberry-purple undersides, and the whole arrangement shifts without you touching it. Salish Twilight Girl is a formal decorative dahlia that opens 3.5–4.5" blooms in lavender.

Growing Salish Twilight Girl

Give your plant a full-sun position and a sturdy stake before it reaches knee height. Pinch out the central bud once you have several sets of leaves to push it into a multi-stemmed shape. This is a tall grower, so tie in new stems as they extend rather than waiting until they flop. Cut when the bloom is about three-quarters open, when the petals are still firm and the color contrast between front and back is at its sharpest. Harvest in the cool of the morning and condition stems in cool water right away.

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