About this plant
Dahlia'AC Twisp' features pale pink blossoms that gracefully transition to a soft yellow near the base, with petals delicately edged in lavender. This dahlia belongs to the informal decorative group, known for its slightly irregular, loosely arranged petals that create a softer, more natural appearance. The blossoms, measuring 4-6 inches across, provide a beautiful blend of colors that add elegance to any garden.
Growing to a height of 5 feet, this dahlia is ideal for cutting gardens, tall borders, or as a feature plant in mixed perennial beds. Its softly blended colors give each bloom a watercolor-like quality, with the lavender edging becoming especially noticeable as the flowers mature. Long stems and generously sized blossoms also make 'AC Twisp' an excellent choice for fresh floral arrangements.
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.
