Dahlia - Preference

Dahlia

Pre-order – delivery in spring 2025

Preference is a stunning cactus dahlia introduced by breeder Gerrit P. Gerritsen from the Netherlands in the 1980s, although it was registered as early as 1955. The variety’s warm apricot-pink flowers, which deepen a little more towards the center, have made it an incredibly growable favorite worldwide. The flowers are medium-sized and neatly formed with slightly wavy petals, giving a very romantic and sophisticated look. Great to use for cutting thanks to its shape but also for its incredibly long vase life.

This cactus dahlia is a big favorite of our cultivation expert Johanna Damm. In August and September, this variety is almost always in her bouquets thanks to its unique color and shape. It’s a must-have and a favorite every summer in her garden!
