Devon Eugene

The Devon Eugene dahlia is a sophisticated and elegant variety bred by Charles Smith in Tasmania. It’s celebrated for its delicate pastel coloring, refined architectural form, and tall, graceful stems—perfect for both high-end floral design and professional cutting gardens.

• Color: Pastel Yellow / Soft Primrose (YL). A luminous, soft pastel yellow with a subtle, warm glow at the heart. The coloring remains clean and consistent, providing a bright yet gentle aesthetic that pairs beautifully with whites, creams, and other spring-toned pastels.
• Form: Cactus / Semi-Cactus. Features narrow, pointed petals that curve outward, creating a starburst-like silhouette with a lighter, airy feel than traditional dense forms. ADS Classification: C/SC (Cactus/Semi-Cactus).
• Bloom Size: Small (BB). Blooms typically range between 4 to 6 inches (10–15 cm) in diameter. This size offers a significant visual presence as a focal flower while maintaining the elegance required for layered arrangements.
• Height: Tall. Grows to approximately 4 to 5.5 feet (120–165 cm) tall. It maintains a vigorous, upright habit with long, clean stems that are highly prized for harvest.
• Performance: Highly Productive Cut Flower. Praised for being a reliable and prolific bloomer on strong, elegant stems. Its excellent vase life and refreshing "citrus-cream" palette make it a versatile workhorse for florists seeking a modern, textured element.
