Product Description
Dahlia 'Alpen Sundown'
Note: We are taking a break from selling dahlias in order to build up our mother stock of tubers and to improve the process for our customers and our farm crew. Learn more about our decision and the future of Floret dahlias.
We’re continuing to research and experiment with different ways to share dahlias with other flower lovers. Until we are able to offer dahlia tubers again, we have compiled a list of our favorite dahlia suppliers.
This beautiful treasure has extremely unique coloring that stands out in the garden. Soft butter-yellow petals are delicately outlined and streaked with raspberry, so the color comes across like a vivid peach. While plants are on the petite side, this variety produces long stems that are excellent for cutting

Cut when blooms are one-third of the way open, but not overly ripe. To do this, check the back of each flower head, looking for firm and lush petals versus papery or slightly dehydrated ones. Place into water with hydrator, or sear stem ends by placing into 160-180° water and allow to cool for 1 hour. Blooms will last 5-6 days.
