American Dahlia Society Classification (AKA - flower nerd talk)
Class: 3203 | Form: SC | Size: BB | Color: OR
If you want a dahlia that gets going early and never lets up, ‘Touche’ is your girl. This semi-cactus dahlia throws wave after wave of 4" blooms in peachy-salmon tones, with a soft lavender blush on the backs of the petals that gives it a unique, dimensional color in the garden and in the vase.
Plants reach about 3½ feet tall, making ‘Touche’ a great fit for the front or middle of a flower bed, dahlia garden, or cottage-style planting. It’s an early bloomer (around 75 days) and is known for being a heavy producer—the kind of plant that looks completely covered in flowers at peak season.
With strong, usable stems and a bloom size that plays nicely with other flowers, ‘Touche’ fits right into a cut flower garden or small flower farm planting. It pairs beautifully with creams, soft oranges, apricots, and dusty mauves in bouquets.
If you’re shopping dahlia tubers for a productive, easy-to-love variety that pulls its weight all summer, this one belongs on your list of dahlias for sale to snag early.
Farmer Notes
-
Truly early to bloom, which is gold in a dahlia garden.
-
One of those varieties that looks like the plant is wearing a flower coat—blooms everywhere.
-
Great size for mixed beds: tall enough to cut from, short enough not to flop over everything.
-
Color reads peach to salmon with hints of lavender on the petal backs—very pretty in cottage garden plantings and mixed bouquets.
-
Excellent “starter” dahlia for newer growers who want something reliable and generous.

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
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.
