About this plant
Dahlia 'AC Hurt' displays medium-sized, formal decorative blooms in a blend of lavender and fuchsia shades. The outer petals are soft lavender, while the color intensifies toward the base into deeper fuchsia, giving the blossom added depth and dimension. Petals are broad, rounded, and arranged in a symmetrical, uniform pattern that creates a smooth, full silhouette. This color shift is most noticeable in natural light, where the cooler tones highlight the structure of each bloom.
Flowering consistently from midsummer into fall, 'AC Hurt' brings a layered, refined presence to the garden with its well-formed blooms and rich coloration. Its distinctive coloring also makes it a beautiful choice for cut flower arrangements, where the subtle tonal variations can be appreciated up close.
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.
