American Sun was bred in Netherlands by Peter Komen in 2006. American Sun throws waves of fully double blooms in a warm, saturated lemon-yellow that holds true from the first bud to the last frost. Petals lock in tight concentric rows with no visible center, giving each head a clean, finished look that photographs well and fills bunches without extra foliage. American Sun is a formal decorative dahlia that opens 4–6" blooms in yellow.

Growing American Sun

Plant tubers in full sun after soil warms, spacing them generously apart. Stake at planting before growth hides the crown, as stems can reach considerable height by peak season. Pinch after the fourth set of true leaves to multiply branching and bloom count. Cut flowers in the cool of early morning when heads are three-quarters open, and condition in cool water for several hours before arranging.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Staking recommended once buds set
