RM Tarnished - Cutting

🦄

RM Tarnished Dahlia is a moody formal decorative variety introduced in 2024 by River Merle Farm. 

Characteristics:

Form: Formal Decorative (FD). It has flat, smooth petals in a regular arrangement, giving it a neat, symmetrical look.

Color: A complex blend of rusty, terra cotta, bronze orange/coral, and salmon-apricot hues with a green center early in the season. As temperatures drop, the center closes and the tones deepen, creating a “tarnished” effect that shifts with light and climate.

Bloom Size: Miniature (M), typically $3$ to $4$ inches (approx. $7.5$ to $10$ cm).

Height: $3$ to $4$ feet (approx. $90$ to $120$ cm), with strong stems and an open habit that encourages airflow.

Performance:

• Versatile Color: The blending of terra cotta and rusty hues is highly popular for wedding work and adds a sophisticated, "vintage vibe" to arrangements.
• Performance: It is reported to be an excellent tuber producer and blooms consistently throughout the season.
• Stem Quality: It possesses good stem length and a desirable plant habit for cutting.
• High Demand: As a new and desirable variety with a trendy color, it has been a "hit" among growers.

Please note that the listing is for one rooted cutting.
