Dahlia Penhill Autumn Shade

Penhill Autumn Shade is a radiant semi-cactus dahlia with blooms that glow like a golden sunset. Each large, fully double flower features luminous yellow centers that deepen into salmon, peach, and apricot toward the petal tips. The blooms, often 20 cm (8 in) across, are star-like in shape, with petals that curl and point outward in a dramatic, fiery display.

This dahlia thrives in borders or containers and produces abundantly on upright, bushy plants. Its warm, glowing tones and striking petal form make it ideal for both garden impact and floral arrangements. Long-lasting and full of character, ‘Penhill Autumn Shade’ brings the glow of late summer into any setting—truly a seasonal showstopper.

Blooms: 15 – 20cm

Dahlias should be planted after the risk of frost has passed and will continue to bloom from early summer until mid-autumn. For optimal growth and flowering, choose a sunny spot to plant the tubers, as Dahlias thrive in full sun.
