Profiled varieties they carry
Cafe au Lait
Creamy blush that shifts through ivory, champagne, peach, and dusty rose, often varying bloom to bloom. Farms note that no two flowers are quite alike.
Labyrinth
A swirled two-tone blend of golden bronze and raspberry. The petals read peachy pink at a distance and resolve into the swirl up close.
Cornel Bronze
Muted bronze, recorded under ADS color code BR3. A soft metallic shade that designers use where red or orange would be too loud.
Appleblossom
Light yellow shifting to pale pink, with petals Triple Wren describes as small watercolor paintings.
Totally Tangerine
Tangerine orange petals with a rose pink reverse around a rust to golden orange pincushion center.
Crichton Honey
Classed bronze, in the garden it reads warm apricot and peachy bronze. One farm describes its stock as cream to pale pink, a minority report worth noting.
Foxy Lady
The Swan Island plant is an ombre of burgundy through pink, raspberry, and peach to yellow. Other cultivars sold under this name are dusty mauve or magenta with white tips, so confirm the plant before trusting photos.
Mikayla Miranda
A light blend: white base with lavender and lilac tips and a soft green glow at the center.
Ivanetti
Rich, deep burgundy-purple berry tones in a tight, symmetrical ball. Officially it sits in the purple class.
Fluffles
Shell to bubblegum pink outer petals around a creamy eggnog center.
Platinum Blonde
A flat ivory collar of ray petals around a dense, fuzzy pincushion center of butter-yellow florets. The RHS describes white anemone-shaped flowers with prominent creamy yellow centres.
Koko Puff
Smoky mauve. Idlewild Blooms calls it a stunning dusty rose pompon that looks more lavender in some weather, and that indecision between rose and lavender is the entire appeal.
Chilson's Pride
Bubblegum pink melting to a creamy white center, a pastel ombre from the middle out. Petals carry a slightly ragged, almost fimbriated edge that softens the whole bloom.
Otto's Thrill
Shimmering rose pink with a frosted peach glow toward the center, ADS color class pink. The petals catch light in a way that reads metallic in photographs.
Gitts Perfection
ADS color class light blend: soft pink petals that melt to a creamy white center. The gradient is gentle enough that the whole bloom reads as one luminous wash of blush.
Gitts Crazy
A swirling dark blend of golden bronze with a rosy-purple reverse, so the bloom reads differently as the petals catch light. The Cincinnati Dahlia Society classes it B ST DB, a medium stellar.
Hollyhill Black Beauty
A deep black-red, about as dark as the genus goes, on a small informal decorative.
