The blooms blend warm apricot and peachy orange with soft salmon-pink tones, while the center glows with deeper golden-orange warmth. The result is a flower that can look more orange, more peach or more pink depending on the bloom and the light—and honestly, that's part of the fun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blooms are generally around 5 inches across, with long, pointed petals that twist and curl into a wonderfully loose, sculptural flower. Some blooms open with a dramatic starburst quality, while others develop into a fuller, more layered form. Plants typically reach approximately 4 feet tall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Newaukum Honey isn't just another pretty face. This variety has a serious show history, earning blue ribbons and higher awards in open competition. Wayne himself has called it his favorite dahlia in the garden, which carries a little weight when you've bred as many dahlias as he has. It's also the sort of flower that makes people stop and ask what they're looking at, which is always a good sign in our book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoose's Take:\u003c\/strong\u003e Newaukum Honey has the dangerous combination of being ridiculously pretty and just unusual enough that you'll find yourself staring at it every time you walk past. The color gets you interested, the petals keep you looking, and before you know it you've decided that obviously you need one more dahlia. I'm here to support this kind of questionable decision-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small Informal Decorative\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Size: Approximately 5 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peachy orange with salmon-pink tones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: Approximately 4 feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreeder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wayne Lobaugh Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Washington State, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduced:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest For: \u003c\/strong\u003eCutting gardens, bouquets, collectors and anyone who likes dahlias that refuse to behave like ordinary orange flowers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dapper Dahlias By Moose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67601883332821,"sku":"3870","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/1454\/9205\/files\/Newaukum_Honey_Collage_CORRECT_APPROVED_LOGO_e1934432-9d84-42c6-994d-ef083e6a9590.png?v=1790878379","url":"https:\/\/dapperdahliasbymoose.com\/products\/newaukum-honey","provider":"Dapper Dahlias By Moose","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
