Description
Just like the rosy glow of a summer sunrise, Dahlia 'American Dawn' will light up your borders with stunning shades of peach and coral, streaked with warm apricot. The emerging petals in the centre of each flower are tinted with hot pinkish-purple, so for a truly eye-catching combination why not a pair it with the bright magenta Dahlia 'Maldini' to really bring out those fuschia tones?
Burnished, coppery hues are perennially popular in the floristry world – and Dahlia 'American Dawn' is famed for its abundant flower production, all season long. So with those stunning flowerheads at a manageable 10-15cm, sitting on long, strong stems – Dahlia 'American Dawn' will surely secure a place at the top of the list of ‘must-haves’ for your cutting garden this year!
