SB's Becky Dahlia
Description
SB's Becky is a charming cut-flower dahlia with neatly layered, fully double blooms that read as a warm blend of peachy-pink and apricot tones, often deepening toward the center. Its medium-sized flowers sit on strong stems and bring a soft, glowing color that pairs beautifully with both pastels and richer autumn palettes in the garden or vase.
