Our Dahlia Tubers Shop is closed for the season. Thank you so much for supporting our little farm. We appreciate you very much!
Our next tuber sale is in 2026!
Yellow isn’t my preferred color, so I tend to stay away from it but guess who loves yellow? Yup, my dear husband, Sean (it's his favorite color by the way). One time, I sent him to the Puget Sound Dahlia Association’s annual tuber sale while I was out of the country, armed with a list of dahlias to buy (I know, he is a trooper). He came home with not one, not two but a handful of yellow varieties (Lord save me).
In 2023, this ball dahlia came out of our breeding patch. I knew right away that I would name it after Sean if it came back stable in year 2. It grows super tall about 5.5 - 6 feet in our garden, it has a super strong stem, and a generous bloomer. I am still not a fan of the yellow but I love the touch of apricot in the center. We are now entering year #3 of trial this year so the time has come to name it.
I remember Sean always telling me that the reason he loves yellow is because it is a happy color. "It's like sunshine", he always says. With that in mind, I think I know the perfect name for this dahlia.
