Just Peachy
ADS: 3210, BB, SC, LB
Height: 4’
Bloom: 5”, semi-cactus
Notes: Just Peachy is an all around fantastic performer. It has long, strong stems, and beautiful blooms that are a blend of soft banana yellow in the centre, peach, and then pink at the tips. It is outstanding as a cut flower, blends perfectly with summer and fall colour palettes, and is a prolific tuber producer. It is very similar to Bahama Mama, but more peachy. Introduced in 1986 by an American grower, Just Peachy is an exhibition show dahlia of note, winning 34 awards at Dahlia Society shows across North America in 2022, earning it recognition on the ‘Cream of the Crop’ list.

For best results, grow your dahlias in a sunny spot, with fertile, well-drained soil. Stake flowers for support and deadhead/ harvest blooms regularly. This will encourage the plant to keep producing flowers. Lift tubers after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place where they won’t freeze. In March, they can be potted up and kept in a temperate greenhouse before planting out, or tubers can be planted directly into the garden after the risk of frost has passed. We plant directly into prepared beds, with a handful of organic fertilizer into each hole. Once planted, the tubers do not need water until shoots have emerged from the soil, as it can cause them to rot. Once they get growing, they will need regular watering, approximately every three days or more if the weather is hot.
