Apricot Perception Dahlia
Description
Apricot Perception glows in warm apricot-to-peach tones, often kissed with soft blush highlights that give the blooms a luminous, sunset feel. Its full, well-formed flowers are held on sturdy stems, making it an excellent choice for cutting while still putting on a show in the garden from midsummer into fall. Pair it with creams, mauves, or deep burgundies for a beautifully balanced bouquet palette.
