About this plant
Dahlia 'AC Andromeda' presents luminous creamy‑white blooms in the stellar form, with petals that twist and taper to fine points and a gentle butter‑cream wash at the center transitioning to cool ivory toward the edges. The stellar form features elongated ray petals that extend outward in a star‑like profile, giving each flower a sculptural appearance.
Blooming from midsummer through to the first frosts of autumn, these luminous heads emerge on vigorous stems and offer high petal count and strong stems that enhance their presence in the garden. The polished silhouette and subtle ivory tones make 'AC Andromeda' ideal for both fresh arrangements and late‑season outdoor displays.
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.
