Glenmarc Sophie Sport

🦄

Glenmarc Sophie Sport is a highly coveted variety, particularly among flower farmers and florists, for its desirable autumn-toned coloring. It is a delightful miniature informal decorative dahlia that emerged as a natural variation of the beloved Glenmarc Sophie. 

Characteristics:

Form: Decorative (Miniature Informal Decorative). The blooms are fully double with a dense, petaled appearance, though they are notably smaller than large Decorative types.

Color: Dark Blend (DB) or Autumn Blend. The primary feature of the sport is its deepened color palette compared to the original 'Glenmarc Sophie' (which is described as a yellower, apricot ball type). The sport features:

• Primary Tones: A blend of pinky-peach, apricot, and coral tones.
• Autumn Tones: The overall effect is a rich, desirable "autumn tone," which is a perfect shade for wedding work and high-end floral design.
• Undertones: Often noted to have a soft yellow undertone radiating from the base and a purple/darker center.

Bloom Size: Miniature (M) or Small (BB).

• Diameter: The blooms are typically up to 4 inches ($10\text{ cm})$ in diameter.
• According to the American Dahlia Society (ADS) classification, blooms up to 4′′ are Miniature (M), while 4′′ to 6′′ are Small (BB).

Height: The plant is generally a medium-to-tall variety, growing to about 3 to 5 feet ($0.9\text{ m}\text{ to }1.5\text{ m})$ tall.

Performance:

• Floral Favorite: It is highly praised as a brilliant cut flower. Its excellent stems and on-trend "moody" or "autumnal" color palette make it a first choice for florists, especially for event and wedding arrangements.
• Prolific Bloomer: Growers note it is a good, reliable, and prolific bloomer, producing many flowers suitable for cutting throughout the season.
• Plant Size: Although the flower is a miniature size, the plant itself is tall and vigorous, meaning it will likely require staking to support the abundant stems.
