Description
The medium-size pumpkin-orange flowers of this award-winning variety seem to smother the dark purple-leaved plants all season long. The contrasting dark foliage and vivid flowers make it a great addition to the garden border and a wonderful cut flower.

Harvesting/Vase Life
Dahlias don’t unfurl much once they’ve been harvested so it’s important to not pick them too early. Harvest when blooms are three-quarters of the way open, but not overly ripe. 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°F to 180°F (just off boiling) water and allow to cool for one hour. Expect a vase life of 5 days.
