Ball · 3–4"OrangeWayne Holland (2000)Canada

Hy Suntan was bred in Canada by Wayne Holland in 2000. Round copper blooms catch late-afternoon light like pennies on a windowsill, with cinnamon backs that flash when a breeze turns the stem. Wayne Holland bred this one in the B.C. Hy Suntan is a ball dahlia that opens 3–4" blooms in orange.

Growing Hy Suntan

Pinch your plants early, once they reach about a foot tall, so you trade one lazy center stem for a flush of long cutting stems later. Stake before buds set; your stems run on the shorter side and still appreciate support in wind. Cut deep and often once blooms open to keep new buds coming through the end of the season. Feed steadily through summer to hold the copper tone saturated as nights cool.

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