Apricot Desire is one of my favorite dahlias. Their cheerful little peachy-orange faces fill my garden and my bouquets with upright long-lasting blooms that pair beautifully with anything blue or lavender.
Plants are tall and the stems are great for bouquets — long and strong.

Dahlias are an easy-to-grow long-lasting burst of color in your garden. Excellent cut flowers and long-lasting bloomers.
Though they do require some staking and support, and you will want to dig them up in the fall and store them in a cool damp (but not too damp) place for winter, they are worth the effort.
Full sun.
