Cactus · 6"Orange

Apricot Star is a cactus dahlia that opens 6" blooms in orange. Long twisting petals open in warm apricot, then fade toward pale gold at the base. Each bloom rolls its narrow florets into fine points, so light catches every spoke and no two flowers read quite the same.

Growing Apricot Star

Pinch the growing tip early to push out more branching stems, and stake plants before the tall canes get top-heavy in wind. Disbud the side buds when you want longer, cleaner stems for cutting. Feed with a low-nitrogen mix once buds form, and cut in the cool of the morning as the outer petals begin to reflex.

Spacing
Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking
Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
