Orange Pekoe **

Dahlia Orange Pekoe is fascinating. The glowing colours of this dahlia vary from apricot to burnished orange. In contrast, the stems and leaves are a dark shade of almost sea green. Orange Pekoe is a good cut flower for bouquets and therefore suitable for a ‘pick-it-yourself’ garden. It is also an asset to a sunny border, where it is best placed towards the back: it can grow to more than a metre in height.
