The Bloomquist Pumpkin dahlia is a vibrant and whimsical variety introduced by the acclaimed hybridizer Paul Bloomquist in 2013. It’s celebrated for its unique, "windblown" appearance and quintessential autumn tones—a perfect addition to fall-focused cutting gardens and seasonal floral designs. Color: Bronze (BR) / Dark Blend. A stunning mix of burnt sienna and orange outer petals that transition to a glowing golden-yellow center. The colors shift beautifully throughout the season, often deepening into richer orange-red tones as the days grow shorter. Form: Stellar (ST). Features long, narrow petals that roll slightly inward, giving the bloom a distinctively starry and cupped look. ADS Classification: 7013 Bloom Size: Small to Medium (BB/B). Typically produces blooms between 4 to 6 inches (10–15 cm) in diameter, though they can occasionally reach up to 8 inches in ideal conditions. Height: Medium-Tall. Grows to approximately 3.5 to 5 feet (105–150 cm) tall. Performance: Highly Productive Cut Flower. Known for being an earlier and more prolific bloomer than many other large decorative types. It produces long, dark, and sturdy stems, making it a reliable "fall-in-a-flower" workhorse for florists and market growers.
