About this plant
Dahlia 'AC Alysia' features large, semi-cactus blooms that shift in color from one flower to the next, displaying a palette that ranges from deep orange to soft peach. Some flowers have a mix of petals in different colors, orange and peach appearing side by side, creating a multicolored, patchwork effect that enhances their layered structure. Narrow, incurved petals spiral outward in a loose yet full formation, giving the blooms a softly sculpted appearance that adds texture and dimension.
Blooming from midsummer into fall, 'AC Alysia' offers continuous color and motion in both borders and cutting gardens, making it a standout for seasonal interest.
Planting & care
Growing beautiful dahlias starts with thoughtful planting and care. A sunny location, well-draining soil, and consistent attention throughout the growing season help plants develop abundant flowers. Regular watering and feeding encourage healthy growth, while mulch helps conserve moisture. Removing spent flowers keeps plants blooming freely from summer into fall.
