Bloomquist Compare Dahlia

Bloomquist Compare is a romantic formal decorative dahlia in the softest shades of blush and lilac. The full, beautifully arranged blooms open with creamy blush outer petals surrounding a deeper lavender-pink center, creating a subtle ombré effect that becomes more pronounced as the flower develops.

At 4–6 inches, the blooms are substantial without becoming oversized, and their softly pointed petals give them a refined, almost star-like quality. Long, strong stems and a muted pastel palette make Bloomquist Compare especially beautiful for cutting, wedding work, and arrangements in blush, cream, lavender, and soft pink.

Growing Tips: Bloomquist Compare has one of the most romantic color combinations in the garden. We love the way the creamy blush outer petals give way to lilac and lavender toward the center, creating a bloom that seems to change depending on the light. Its soft coloring is beautiful on its own, but we especially love it alongside cream, blush, dusty pink, and other muted tones. Add in its beautifully ordered form and long cutting stems, and this is an easy one for us to make room for year after year.

Growing Tips: For detailed planting, staking, watering, and overwintering advice, visit our How to Grow Dahlias guide.
