Seed collected at Our Mountain Garden from Breannon x Open Pollinated.

Breannon is one of the true staples of our dahlia patch. The blooms came through in gorgeous dusty apricot tones with a distinctive mauve-purple centre that gives the flowers incredible depth and character. It flowers in flushes but never really seems to stop, producing cutting stems right through the season. The stems are strong, the plants are productive, and it's one of those rare bridging flowers that helps tie an arrangement together, sitting comfortably alongside pinks, peaches, apricots, purples and deeper autumn tones. Breannon has become a staple variety for us on the farm, and we're especially excited because it has already produced some very promising seedlings from previous years' seed.

Breannon is an Australian decorative dahlia bred by Jenny Parish of Country Dahlias in Victoria. The blooms are typically described as dusty apricot to peach with soft golden undertones and a distinctive mauve-purple centre. Highly regarded by flower farmers and florists alike, Breannon is known for its prolific flowering habit, excellent stem length and long season of production. The beautifully formed blooms are carried on strong stems that make them ideal for cutting, while the unique blend of apricot, peach, pink and mauve tones allows them to work effortlessly across a wide range of bouquet palettes. It's easy to see why Breannon has become one of Australia's most sought-after cut flower dahlias.

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
