Dahlias
Dahlia 'Bee Hive'
Bee Hive Dahlia
Dahlia 'Bee Hive' produces perfectly rounded, 3-inch blooms in muted burnt orange with soft peach undertones. Its miniature ball flowers are densely packed with tightly rolled petals, forming compact, spherical heads with a precise, honeycomb-like texture. The warm coloring deepens the flowers' dimensional appearance. Blooming begins in midsummer and continues steadily through autumn until the first frosts.
Introduced by Swan Island Dahlias in Oregon, 'Bee Hive' brings warm color and geometric form to mixed borders, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens.

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.
