Devon Salmon Rooted Cutting Shipping Apr 1 - May 15

Short Teaser
A silky salmon beauty from Tasmania with classic form, strong stems, and bouquet-maker written all over it.

Full Description
Devon Salmon is a refined Australian dahlia bred by Charles “Charlie” Smith of Tasmania, the legendary breeder behind the well-known Devon series of dahlias. This variety has quietly built a reputation among growers for its elegant color and reliable garden performance.

The blooms fall in the 4–6 inch range, forming tidy decorative flowers in a warm salmon to salmon-pink tone that glows softly in the garden and blends beautifully with peaches, apricots, and dusty rose palettes. Depending on conditions and lighting, the color can lean from soft pastel salmon to a deeper rosy salmon.

Plants typically grow around 4 feet tall with strong stems and abundant bloom production. Growers consistently praise Devon Salmon as a fantastic cutting variety, producing long stems and a steady supply of elegant blooms throughout the season.

In true Australian fashion, it brings that effortless balance of beauty and toughness—polished enough for bouquets, but vigorous enough to crank out flowers all summer.

And if Moose Logic holds true, anything bred in Tasmania by a guy who spent decades making dahlias better is probably worth a spot in the patch.
