A Bit of History

Peach Delight is a beautiful Australian-bred dahlia associated with hybridizer John Scobie. It has also earned recognition in competitive dahlia circles, including appearances in American Dahlia Society records.

Its combination of impressive bloom size, refined Semi-Cactus form, and warm peach coloring has helped Peach Delight develop a following well beyond Australia. Australian cultivars can be particularly exciting additions to U.S. collections, and Peach Delight is a wonderful example of why—they bring distinctive genetics, beautiful form, and colors that truly stand out in the garden.

For collectors and gardeners searching for a special Australian variety, Peach Delight is one worth making room for.
