Dahlias

Dahlia 'AC Hurt'

AC Hurt Dahlia

Dahlia 'AC Hurt' displays medium-sized, formal decorative blooms in a blend of lavender and fuchsia shades. The outer petals are soft lavender, while the color intensifies toward the base into deeper fuchsia, giving the blossom added depth and dimension. Petals are broad, rounded, and arranged in a symmetrical, uniform pattern that creates a smooth, full silhouette. This color shift is most noticeable in natural light, where the cooler tones highlight the structure of each bloom.

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