Day Dreamer is a luminous waterlily-form dahlia known for its soft, painterly blend of yellow, cream, peach, and blush-pink tones. The 4–6 inch blooms open in gentle layers, often beginning with creamy yellow outer petals that deepen into warm apricot and rosy hues toward the center — creating a delicate watercolor effect that shifts throughout the season.
Growing to about 4 feet tall, this vigorous variety produces sturdy stems that make it a beautiful choice for cutting gardens and soft, romantic arrangements. Day Dreamer brings an airy elegance to the field, pairing effortlessly with ivories, peaches, and pastel palettes while offering dependable performance year after year.
