Why Dahlia ‘Danique’ is 2023’s Fuirk Home Award Winner
Pure Magic in Bloom: ‘Danique’ isn’t just a dahlia; it’s an emotional experience. Rebecca (our very serious and impartial judge) literally cried when she saw its first bloom. Pictures don’t do it justice. The coppery metallic finish, streaked with saturated berry and wine tones, creates an iridescent glow that’s truly one of a kind.
Compact and Manageable: Topping out at 36–40 inches, ‘Danique’ is the perfect size for any garden. Compact but mighty, it’s easy to place and care for, even if space is at a premium.
Cutting-Friendly: Despite its shorter stature, ‘Danique’ delivers cuttable stems that are ideal for hand-tied bouquets. It’s proof that good things come in smaller packages!
Early Bloomer, Low Maintenance: Blooming in under 100 days, this variety gets the show started early and keeps going strong. Unless your garden is in a wind tunnel, you can probably skip staking. (But hey, use your judgment—don’t send me cranky emails if it tips over!)
2024 Must-Grow List: Ranked #1 on Rebecca’s “must-grow” list (yes, she was the only voter, but still), ‘Danique’ has set the bar high for next season.
Add ‘Danique’ to your garden for a little magic, a lot of beauty, and some serious garden envy from your neighbors. 🌟
Peter Komen Perfection: Bred by the legendary Peter Komen (the talent behind crowd-pleasers like Danique, Night Silence, Great Silence, Milena Fleur, Loe, Strawberry Cream to name a few).
