About this plant

Dahlia 'AC Salt' features pure white blooms detailed with a hint of lemon‑yellow at the petal bases, held in the formal decorative form; defined by broad, flat petals arranged in concentric layers to form a perfectly rounded flower face. The refined structure gives each blossom a clear, polished silhouette on long, strong stems. Flowering begins in midsummer and continues reliably into the first frosts of autumn, providing extended bloom interest.

The crisp white petals lend a clean, luminous clarity to garden beds and cut‑flower arrangements, making 'AC Salt' a fresh, bright choice for the late‑season garden. Its subtle yellow center adds warmth to the otherwise crisp coloring, giving the blooms added depth without diminishing their clean appearance.

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.
