The Swan’s Sunset displays a gorgeous warm blend of red and soft orange, with a golden yellow highlighting towards the bloom’s center. The rich sunset colors is what gives the flower its name, and it makes the dahlia stand out both in garden beds and bouquets for any occasion! The flower produces strong sturdy stems.

The bloom size averages 10 inches, with the height growing up to 3 1/2 feet tall.

Harvest Life for Dahlias: The perfect time to harvest a dahlia is when the bloom is about three-quarters or half a way until ripe, usually best to pick in the early mornings or cool evening. After cutting, the dahlia does not significantly open, so it is important to avoid harvesting at the bud stage or when the flower is fully bloomed and past its prime state.
