Dahlia ‘Teddy Bear’ – Warm Amber & Salmon Decorative Blooms

Dahlia ‘Teddy Bear’ is a decorative-type dahlia that delights with its large, amber-gold blooms blended with soft salmon hues. The outer petals have a gently fringed or fimbriated edge, adding texture and a plush, layered appearance. Blooms are roughly 15 cm across, borne on sturdy plants that reach about 1.2 m tall. Perfect for garden beds, borders, large containers, or cutting gardens, this variety offers colour and presence from mid-summer through autumn.

With full sun exposure and well-drained fertile soil, ‘Teddy Bear’ performs best. Regular deadheading boosts flower production, and in cooler climates tubers should be protected or lifted over winter for longevity.
