Dahlia Alpen Sundown

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Dahlia 'Alpen Sundown'

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

Harvesting/Vase Life:
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.
