Seed collected at Our Mountain Garden from ‘Glenmarc Skye’ x Open Pollinated.

New to us this season.  Glenmarc Skye immediately earned her place. Very productive in her first year here on Tamborine Mountain, with genuinely strong stems and a beautiful soft lavender colour that blended beautifully in our bouquets. A lovely one to have in the patch.

Glenmarc Skye is an Australian-bred miniature decorative dahlia introduced by Alf Hardingham in 2005 — the Glenmarc prefix being his well-regarded Australian breeding line. The blooms are a soft lavender to lilac, neat and well-formed, sitting on tall upright stems that make her a pleasure to pick. She is considered an excellent cut flower variety and is sought after by florists and flower farmers for exactly the qualities we noticed in our own patch.

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
