Description
Description
A brand new colour break in breeding by Dr Keith Hammett has seen this gorgeous new variety enter the marketplace. Arcadian Sunset evokes fondness of our local sunsets in Arcadia, thus a fitting name. The flowers have the colouring of a beautiful evening sunset contrasting magnificently against dark almost black foliage. Like the others that Dr Keith Hammett breeds, does not require staking and quite happily grows amoungest the perennial boarder. Irresistible to pollinators this compact Dahlia is perfect in the garden or in pots. A wonderful cut flower. Orange petals that fade to yellow with dark green/burgundy foliage.
