Strum Princess

Sturm Princess is a cheerful and vibrant decorative dahlia known for its unique, painterly blend of rosy pink, magenta, and apricot-peach shades, often featuring subtle streaks and speckles. It's a robust performer, making it an excellent choice for a cutting garden.

Origin: Introduced by Frans H. Sturm from the Netherlands.

Characteristics:

Form: Decorative (FD/ID): The blooms are full and layered, typical of the Decorative group. The petals (ray florets) are broad and often slightly rolled or curved, giving the flower a substantial, slightly shaggy texture and a lush appearance.

Colour: Painterly Blend: The color is the dahlia's defining trait—it appears to be hand-painted. It has a base of soft coral-pink or peach, which is dramatically streaked, speckled, and edged with deeper, almost vinous or magenta-pink hues. This bi-color effect creates depth and makes the bloom incredibly interesting in arrangements.

Bloom Size: Medium: With blooms consistently in the 5 to 6-inch range, it is an ideal size for bouquets, making a statement without being overly large or heavy.

Height: Medium-to-Tall: The plant is a strong vertical element in the garden, reaching heights of up to 4 feet.

Performance: 

• Exceptional Cut Flower: 'Sturm Princess' is a top-tier variety for cut flower enthusiasts. It produces an abundant number of blooms held proudly on long, very strong, and straight stems, making harvesting easy and ensuring the flowers look elegant in a vase.
• Vigorous and Prolific: It is known for its robust growing habit and its floriferous nature, providing a continuous supply of showy flowers from mid-summer until the first frost.
• Warm Tones for Blending: Its blend of apricot and rose makes it versatile for floral design, pairing beautifully with both soft blush palettes and brighter jewel tones, particularly complementary to late-season oranges and burgundies.
