Dahlia 'Andy's Legacy'

Andy's Legacy Dahlia

Dahlia 'Andy's Legacy' produces 6-inch informal decorative blooms in a warm blend of peach, salmon, and orange, accented by lavender-purple petal reverses and golden-yellow tones near the center. Loosely layered petals twist and curve into a relaxed, full form. Flowering begins in midsummer and continues abundantly until the first autumn frosts.

Introduced in 2016 by Swan Island Dahlias in Oregon, 'Andy's Legacy' was named in memory of a beloved family member.

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.
