About this plant
Dahlia 'Allen's Phoenix' produces luminous 6 to 8 inch blooms blending buttery peach, warm orange, and rich bronze tones. Its stellar flowers feature narrow, slightly creased petals that radiate outward in a star-like form, with color deepening as the blossoms mature. Flowering begins in midsummer and continues through autumn until the first frosts.
Hybridized by Allen Manuel and introduced in 2025, 'Allen's Phoenix' earned the American Dahlia Society's Derrill W. Hart Medal for stellar dahlias. Its warm, nuanced coloring and sculptural flower form bring depth to mixed borders, cutting gardens, and seasonal displays, while the substantial blooms create elegant focal flowers in bouquets.
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.
