Café Mauve

Café Mauve is highly prized by florists for its unique, vintage coloring.

Characteristics:

Form: Typically classified as Formal Decorative (FD), but can also be seen as an Informal Decorative (ID). The blooms often take on a deep, dense, almost ball-like shape when young.

Color: An incredibly complex and unusual Light Blend (LB) that defies simple categorization.

• Face: The front petals are a creamy beige, mocha-cream, or soft cinnamon rose.
• Reverse: The backs of the petals provide the "mauve" and "antique" quality, appearing as a smoky cranberry, deep lavender, or rosy-purple.
• The combination creates a sophisticated, muted, bi-color or blended effect that changes with the light.

Bloom Size: Medium (M) or Large (A/B), consistently measuring between 5 to 7 inches (13–18 cm) in diameter.

Height: Upright grower, reaching about 4.5 feet (135 cm).

Performance:

• This is a vigorous and productive variety that delivers good yields despite its large bloom size.
• The stems are often described as sturdy and able to support the heavy, full blooms.
• Its unique, deep, antique color makes it a favorite centerpiece dahlia for high-end wedding florals and rustic-elegant designs.
• Vase life is approximately 5 days when harvested properly (when blooms are about three-quarters open).
