RM Whirlgig - Cutting (unconfirmed)

RM Whirligig is a stunning dahlia introduced in 2024 by River Merle Dahlias, capturing hearts with its playful, vibrant color and excellent cutting garden attributes. It is celebrated for its unique, multi-tonal blooms that evoke the look of a whimsical pinwheel.

Form: Formal Decorative (FD) - meaning its petals are flat, broad, and smoothly arranged.

Colour: Bicolor (BI): Peachy-pink/apricot with a golden center. The color is truly its standout feature. It's described as a beautiful peachy-pink that often presents a distinct golden or apricot-yellow glow in the center, creating a stunning bicolor effect. This luminous, warm blend makes it a perfect complement for both soft and vibrant arrangements.

Bloom Size: BB (Small): The blooms are consistently around 4 inches (10 cm), placing them at the smaller end of the BB category. This size is highly valued by florists for adding structure and color pop without dominating an arrangement.

Height: It is a vigorous and reliable plant, reaching a mature height of approximately 4 feet (1.2 meters). This moderate height on strong, straight stems makes it a great candidate for the cutting patch.

Performance: 

• Prolific Bloom Set: Like 'RM Digits', 'RM Whirligig' is reported to be exceptionally productive throughout the season, providing a high volume of blooms that keeps the cutting buckets full.

• Sturdy for Cutting: The combination of a 4-foot height and strong stems makes it an ideal workhorse for florists, ensuring a long vase life and easy handling.

• Unique Color Blend: Its warm, peachy-pink bicolor tone is currently one of the most sought-after palettes in the floral world, making it a high-value addition to any garden or market bouquet.
