About this plant
Dahlia 'Appleblossom' produces delicate, open-faced blooms in a soft blend of creamy yellow, blush pink, and warm pastel tones. As a collarette dahlia, each flower features a single row of broad outer petals surrounding a smaller inner collar, with subtle pink streaking and a prominent golden-yellow center. Measuring about 4 inches across, the blossoms have a light, airy appearance that contrasts beautifully with fuller, more densely petaled dahlias.
Growing to approximately 4 feet tall, 'Appleblossom' flowers generously from midsummer into fall, bringing soft color and graceful texture to the garden. Its exposed center provides easy access for bees and other pollinators, adding wildlife value to its ornamental appeal. The long stems and gently colored blooms also make it an excellent choice for borders, cutting gardens, and 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.
