Sweet Suzanne is a dreamy apricot-peach ball dahlia with softly glowing blooms, ruffled petal tips, and long, strong stems—perfect for cutting gardens and market bouquets.

Sweet Suzanne is one of those dahlias I find myself babying a little, just because she’s so pretty. The blooms have this soft apricot-peach glow with hints of yellow that makes every bucket look expensive, even if she’s mixed in with the everyday workhorses. Her stems are long and sturdy with good necks, so she’s easy to harvest and quick to use on the design table—no fussing, no drooping. As a sport of Sweet Fabienne she’s reliably productive, and I’ve never once regretted giving her space in the field. If you’re growing for bouquets or market, she earns her keep.

Dahlia ‘Sweet Suzanne’ is the kind of variety that makes you stop in the path and stare for a minute.

This ball dahlia opens in a soft, iridescent blend of apricot, peach, and creamy yellow, and the blooms almost seem to glow in the garden. The petals are textured and lightly ruffled at the tips, giving each flower beautiful dimension both on the plant and in the vase.

Introduced in 2020 by Maatschap van der Linden as a sport of ‘Sweet Fabienne’, Sweet Suzanne has quickly become a grower favorite for both production and beauty. The warm apricot-peach tones, kissed with hints of soft yellow, make it a perfect mixer for almost any bouquet palette—from romantic pastels to richer late-season colors.

In the garden and in the field, Sweet Suzanne delivers:

  • Upright plants with a tidy habit

  • Long, strong stems that are a dream for cutting

  • Sturdy necks that hold blooms upright in the field and in the vase

  • Reliable production, making it a great choice for market growers and home gardeners alike

If you grow dahlias for cutting, Sweet Suzanne is one of those “no regrets” varieties—soft color, strong stems, and plenty of blooms all season.

Customer Conduct Policy

We’re all about respectful and constructive communication—it’s how we ensure a positive experience for everyone in our growing community. If you have feedback or concerns, please reach out to us directly so we can resolve the issue promptly and fairly. We’re here to help, and we take pride in finding solutions that work.

That said, we reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or void guarantees if a customer engages in disrespectful behavior.

Here’s the deal: If customer service matters are taken public before we’ve had a chance to help, we may choose to walk away and void guarantees. 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.

We’re all in this together, so let’s keep it kind, constructive, and focused on growing beautiful things. 🌱

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.
