Sherwood’s Peach is a classic heirloom dinnerplate dahlia whose 10–12 inch blooms open in warm bronze, apricot, and soft peach, with a faint dusty purple haze on the petal backs that gives the flower its unmistakable antique character. As the blooms mature, the outer petals often fade toward golden peach while the center retains its deeper bronze glow. This layered, time‑worn palette mirrors the late‑stage coloration of mature Chinook salmon in shallow water, where warm bronze and peach tones dominate the flanks while subtle violet shadows gather along the back and head. Tall plants reach 3.5–5 feet and require staking to support the weight of their enormous blooms. Romantic, nostalgic, and richly toned, Sherwood’s Peach brings an heirloom warmth and Chinook‑like depth to late‑summer and autumn arrangements.
