American Dahlia Society Classification (AKA - flower nerd talk) Class: 1114 | Form: ID | Size: A | Color: V | Color Description: DR5/BR8 If you want a dahlia that gets going early and never lets up, ‘Touche’ is your girl. This semi-cactus dahlia throws wave after wave of 4" blooms in peachy-salmon tones, with a soft lavender blush on the backs of the petals that gives it a unique, dimensional color in the garden and in the vase. Plants reach about 3½ feet tall, making ‘Touche’ a great fit for the front or middle of a flower bed, dahlia garden, or cottage-style planting. It’s an early bloomer (around 75 days) and is known for being a heavy producer—the kind of plant that looks completely covered in flowers at peak season. With strong, usable stems and a bloom size that plays nicely with other flowers, ‘Touche’ fits right into a cut flower garden or small flower farm planting. It pairs beautifully with creams, soft oranges, apricots, and dusty mauves in bouquets. If you’re shopping dahlia tubers for a productive, easy-to-love variety that pulls its weight all summer, this one belongs on your list of dahlias for sale to snag early. Farmer Notes Truly early to bloom, which is gold in a dahlia garden. One of those varieties that looks like the plant is wearing a flower coat—blooms everywhere. Great size for mixed beds: tall enough to cut from, short enough not to flop over everything. Color reads peach to salmon with hints of lavender on the petal backs—very pretty in cottage garden plantings and mixed bouquets. Excellent “starter” dahlia for newer growers who want something reliable and generous.
