Dahlia ‘Terracotta’
Earthy and luminous, ‘Terracotta’ unfurls slender, gently pointed petals in a warm pottery palette—amber, butterscotch, and dusty light orange—like sun on a clay pot. The semi-cactus form gives each bloom a refined, textural starburst that reads elegant on the plant and irresistible in the hand. Long, strong stems and generous production make this a true workhorse for autumn palettes and designer bunches.

Planting & Growing Guide
Dahlias thrive in full sun and well-draining soil. Plant tubers after all danger of frost, 4–6″ deep and 12–18″ apart. Pinch at ~12″ tall to encourage branching and more blooms. Provide sturdy support for tall stems. Water consistently (avoid waterlogging) and deadhead to extend flowering. In colder climates, lift tubers after frost, cure, and store in a cool, dry place for replanting next year.
