Dahlias

Dahlia 'AC Alysia'

AC Alysia Dahlia

Dahlia 'AC Alysia' features large, semi-cactus blooms that shift in color from one flower to the next, displaying a palette that ranges from deep orange to soft peach. Some flowers have a mix of petals in different colors, orange and peach appearing side by side, creating a multicolored, patchwork effect that enhances their layered structure. Narrow, incurved petals spiral outward in a loose yet full formation, giving the blooms a softly sculpted appearance that adds texture and dimension.

Regular watering and feeding encourage healthy growth, while mulch helps conserve moisture. Removing spent flowers keeps plants blooming freely from summer into fall.
