Sturm Sweet Maria Dahlia Tuber

Sturm Sweet Maria Dahlia Tuber – Decorative

Sturm Sweet Maria is a romantic decorative dahlia from Dutch hybridizer Frans Sturm, the breeder behind favorites like Copper Boy and Sturm Princess. Its color-shifting blooms open in warm apricot and soften into blush pink, salmon, and cream, with hints of magenta in the undertones, so you'll find a beautiful range of shades on one plant.

The 4–5" blooms grow on a compact 3–3.5 foot plant (35–40") with an upright, bushy habit, so it fits easily into garden beds, borders, and containers. It's a popular cut flower, and its soft, shifting palette is perfect for bouquets and wedding work alongside peaches, blushes, and creams.
