Dahlia "Punkin Spice" - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This beauty boasts glowing orange blooms, some with raspberry undertones and others with hints of gold and red. Petals are laciniated at the tip, giving the flowers an almost fuzzy quality. Their lush growth requires extra support. 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.
