‘Blyton Softer Gleam’ is a soft golden honey ball dahlia with 3–4" blooms and strong stems—an extremely prolific, long-lasting cut flower that stays productive in the dahlia garden right up until frost.
‘Blyton Softer Gleam’ is one of those dahlias you plant once and then never want to be without.

Flowers are ball form, around 3–4" across, and they hold beautifully on the plant and in the vase. This variety is an extremely prolific bloomer with long-lasting, weather-resistant flowers, so you’re not losing your best blooms to a passing rain or windy day.
Plants reach about 42–48" tall, with strong, straight stems that are easy to harvest and bunch—perfect for anyone growing a cut flower garden, small flower farm, or dahlia-filled cottage garden. ‘Blyton Softer Gleam’ reblooms reliably all season, continuing to throw usable stems until frost, which is why it’s a true favorite on the farm.

Likewise, if we see posts that are intentionally damaging or rude behavior toward other growers in the community, we reserve the right to decline your orders altogether.

Grow & Care
Grow & Care
Dahlias are tender perennials, vigorous and fast growing. Dahlia tubers must be lifted for the winter from the ground in zones 7 and lower.
Planting:
Dahlias require soil that drains freely. Clay soil should be amended. Planting in raised beds can help alleviate moisture concerns. Tuber loss due to moisture rot is the leading cause for plant loss.
Plant 6" deep. Dig hole at least twice the width of your tuber to reduce soil compaction.
Label and stake your Dahlia at planting. Tubers do not need to be watered unless you are dealing with especially dry conditions. Whatever Mother Nature provides will be enough.
Care:
When Dahlias reach 10-12", the center tip should be pinched. This will create a bushier plan and yield more blooms. Without pinching, the plant will grow one tall, thick central stalk.
Your Dahlias will bloom from mid-summer until frost. Keep spent blooms trimmed and you'll enjoy repeat blooms all season long.
