Dahlias
Dahlia 'Bed Head'
Bed Head Dahlia
Dahlia 'Bed Head' features vivid coral-orange blooms housed in an incurved cactus form, with petals that curl and twist outward and then inward to create a wild, textured flower head reminiscent of a tousled hairstyle. The bright 4‑inch blossoms appear beginning in midsummer and continue into the early fall, offering long‑stemmed blooms that hold well in arrangements.
Plants carry their blossoms aloft on sturdy stems above lacy foliage, and the bouquets gradually deepen in color with hints of red appearing on some petals over time.

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.
