Candlelight Dahlia

Soft orange, informal decorative flowers blend to golden yellow centers on this 2004 introduction from Swan Island Dahlias in Oregon. Long flower stems support their use in cut flower arrangements. Plant this dahlia in full sun, moderately fertile, and well-drained soils after danger of frost has passed, and plan on staking this cultivar to keep it upright during strong summer storms.
