About this Product
Fun and unusual, this variety has lots of petals that curl and swirl all over, just like a bad hair day! 4" Blooms are a vibrant orange, which tends to throw a red streak now and again, covering some blooms to an almost red color. Holds very well as a cut flower and the longer it is in an arrangement, the curlier it gets! The 6' plant is exceptionally strong, very tall and full with lacey foliage, and amazing stem length. A wonderful addition to your garden.
Bloom Size: 4"
Plant Height: 6'
Bloom Time: Average (90 days)
Bloom Style:
- Incurved Cactus
Color: Orange
Year Introduced: 2005
Dahlias are grown from tubers (similar to a bulb, but thin-skinned like a potato). Plant tubers in the springtime, about the same time as you would your vegetable gardens or when the ground is warm enough to work up and play in daily. Plant them in a full sun location (giving them 6-8 hours of direct sunlight) and enjoy blooms all summer long. They will bloom and provide you with color and abundant flowers for cutting and enjoying throughout the summer.
The more you cut a dahlia plant, the more it will bloom. Most cut dahlias will last up to 5 days once cut and treated.

these flowers absolutely glow, and the amazing shape of the petals are a head-turner. It's throwing up so many bloom stalks I can't keep up with my bouquets! The blooms range from a bright orange to an almost ruby red. Really amazing strong plant, too. I love this one and will be re-ordering for sure!
I found this to be a fun flower to see in the garden but it was terrible as a cut flower. I tried cutting at all stages of maturation to see if that mattered, but it had a one day vase life. The color was very inconsistent as well. This was the only dahlia that i discarded at the end of the season.
This bloom was terrible all year, consistently gave me these sickly weird little flowers, that were about 2 1/2 inches. I ordered this because I saw it in Swan Island’s fields and thought it was fantastic. In my garden it fell short of expectations.
It's always a bit disappointing when a dahlia color is undependable, but Bed Head is just as it appears, a deep red orange. It's lovely when combined with peach, lavender and purple flowers.
