Description
Dahlia ‘Bracken Palomino’ is a showy formal decorative dahlia admired for its grand blooms in soft peach-apricot blending into apricot-orange tones. The petals reflex gently backwards, giving each bloom luminous, sculpted beauty. Flowers reach about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) across, held on tall, sturdy stems rising to 4-5 ft (1.2-1.5 m) tall, making it ideal for beds, borders, and long vase life in cut flower arrangements.
It blooms from mid to late summer through into autumn, performing best in full sun and well-drained soil. In frost-prone areas, tubers should be lifted and stored over winter to ensure perennial growth. Regular feeding and staking help support the large blooms and maintain plant vigor.
