Incurved Cactus · 6–8"OrangeTed & Margaret Kennedy (2010)United States
Hollyhill Margarita is an incurved cactus dahlia that opens 6–8" blooms in orange. Hollyhill Margarita burns coral-orange with an electric intensity that reads differently as the sun moves across the day. The incurved petals pull inward to a tight center, giving each bloom a layered, almost sculptural look. It was bred in United States by Ted & Margaret Kennedy in 2010.

Growing Hollyhill Margarita
Pinch at four to five leaf nodes to encourage strong branching and more blooms per plant. Stake early since the plants can push past four feet and the heavy blooms can lean in wind. Water deeply at the base and let the soil approach dryness between sessions to keep tubers healthy. Watch the lower foliage for powdery mildew in late summer and remove affected leaves promptly. Cut stems early in the morning and condition them in cool water before arranging.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
