Dahlia Seeds - Bracken 'Sequel' x Open Pollinated - (10x seeds)

We post to QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC and SA including regional areas. We’re unable to post to WA, NT, TAS or overseas.

Seed collected at Our Mountain Garden from ‘Bracken Sequel’ x Open Pollinated.

Bracken Sequel gave us blooms from early to late in the season - not a main flush and then done, but consistent picks right through - which is exactly the kind of plant you want when you’re cutting for bouquets week after week. A beautiful colour that worked well in any bouquet.

Bracken Sequel is a small formal decorative dahlia bred by Neville Naumann from Bracken Ridge, Queensland - the Bracken prefix being his well-regarded Australian breeding line. The blooms carry a cool pink with purple overtones, delicate white tips on the petals, and the colour shifts through the season - running more purple early on and warming toward pink as the weeks pass. Strong stems, good form, and the kind of consistent production that makes her a reliable choice for cutting gardens and small-scale flower growers alike.

We’re hoping for long-season offspring that inherit that same reliable, all-season flowering habit. 

Growing Information

Sowing time: Seeds need warmth to germinate - soil temperature of at least 18°C, ideally 20-25°C.

Starting method: Sow into seed raising mix in small pots or trays, covering seeds lightly with about 5mm of mix. The paper towel method also works well - place seeds between damp paper towels in a warm spot (20-25°C), check daily, and pot up as soon as you see a root emerge. Once sprouted, keep seedlings in good light to avoid leggy growth.

Germination: Typically 7-14 days at 18-25°C. Cooler conditions will slow germination considerably.

Planting out: Plant seedlings out once overnight temperatures are reliably above 10°C and all risk of frost has passed.

Position: Full sun

Happy Gardening
