Bloomquist Dahlias: A Legacy in Full Bloom

🌟 Moose’s Bloomquist Collection: A Family Legacy in Bloom 🌟

The Bloomquist dahlias are a true American legacy. For more than 30 years, Paul Bloomquist has been one of the most prolific dahlia breeders in the world, creating hundreds of unique cultivars that have dazzled gardeners, show growers, and florists alike. His work has set a gold standard for innovation, color, and form.

Today, that legacy continues at North Cascade Dahlias in Whatcom County, Washington, where Paul’s son, Thomas Bloomquist, has returned to carry the torch. Thomas now manages the family fields, preserves Paul’s extensive collection, and is actively learning and practicing the art of hybridizing, ensuring the Bloomquist name keeps thriving for generations of gardeners to come.

Why gardeners (and The Gardening Moose) love Bloomquist dahlias:

🌸 A heritage collection spanning decades of breeding excellence

🎨 Endless variety in forms, colors, and styles — something for everyone

💪 Strong genetics and reliable performance, trusted by show growers and hobbyists alike

🌲 Proudly bred in Washington State, where the Cascade Mountains meet dahlia magic

Moose Translation: Bloomquist dahlias are like the family recipe that just keeps getting better — started by a master chef, passed down to the next generation, and still the star of the table (or in this case, your flower patch).
