Salish Glory Be

 The Salish Glory Be dahlia is a fiery and resilient variety introduced in 2025 by Washington-based hybridizer Noni Morrison. Part of the Legacy Collection, it is celebrated for its warm, sunset-inspired palette and exceptionally sturdy stems—making it a standout performer for both landscape impact and high-end floral design.

• Color: Yellow (Y) / Orange. A radiant, "fiery sunset" blend. The blooms feature a glowing golden-yellow center that fades into warm orange tones toward the petal edges, creating a vibrant, multi-dimensional look.
• Form: Stellar (ST). Characterized by narrow, pointed petals that are often slightly cupped or rolled. The petal position is particularly elegant, relaxing back toward the stem to create a full, star-like silhouette.
• Bloom Size: Small (BB). Flowers typically reach about 5 inches (12.5 cm) in diameter. Its mid-sized blooms are substantial enough to be focal points while remaining light enough for airy arrangements.
• Height: Tall. A vigorous grower that reaches 4.5 to 5 feet (135–150 cm) tall. Its height gives it a commanding presence in the back of a garden border.
• Performance: Robust Professional Cut Flower. Praised for having "rock-solid" stem strength—a signature trait of the Salish series. It is a reliable, high-performing producer that holds its heavy, sunset-hued blooms upright with ease, making it a favorite for florists.
