The ‘Darcy’ dahlia is a captivating variety celebrated for its warm, evolving hues and elegant form. Here’s a detailed description:

  1. Color: The blooms open in a golden yellow shade, gradually transitioning to soft peach or apricot tones on the outer petals as they mature. This dynamic color shift adds depth and interest to the garden.
  2. Bloom Shape: Classified as a formal decorative dahlia, ‘Darcy’ features large, rounded flower heads with soft apricot outer petals encircling a warm golden center.
  3. Size: The flowers are medium-sized, typically measuring between 4 to 6 inches in diameter.
  4. Foliage and Stature: The plant reaches a height of approximately 4 feet, with tall and robust stems adorned with dark green foliage, providing a striking contrast to the warm-toned blooms.
  5. Bloom Season: ‘Darcy’ is a prolific bloomer, offering an abundance of flowers throughout the growing season, from mid-summer until the first frost.
  6. Uses: The versatile coloration of ‘Darcy’ makes it an excellent “blender” variety, seamlessly bridging different color schemes in floral arrangements and garden plantings. Its sturdy stems and long vase life also make it a favorite among cut flower enthusiasts.
  7. Growing Requirements:
    • Light: Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
    • Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter.
    • Watering: Needs consistent moisture but should not be waterlogged; overwatering can lead to root rot.
    • Care: Regular deadheading of spent blooms encourages continuous flowering. Pinching the plant when it reaches about 12 inches tall promotes bushier growth. Staking may be necessary to support the tall stems and prevent them from bending under the weight of the blooms.

The ‘Darcy’ dahlia is a delightful addition to any garden, offering a harmonious blend of color and form. Its dynamic hues and elegant structure make it a standout choice for gardeners and florists seeking to add warmth and sophistication to their floral displays.
