Ash Happy Orange

The ASH Happy Orange dahlia is a radiant and cheerful variety hybridized by Louisa of ASH Blooms in British Columbia, Canada. As the name suggests, it is celebrated for its high-energy, "happy" hue and its ability to light up a garden or bouquet with its saturated, citrus-inspired tones.

• Color: Bright Orange (OR). A vibrant, clean, and juicy orange that remains consistent throughout the season. It lacks the muddiness sometimes found in darker bronzes, offering a pure "popsicle" orange glow.
• Form: Formal Decorative (FD). Known for its tidy, symmetrical petal arrangement that creates a full and rounded bloom with a clean, centered eye.
• ADS Classification: FD (Formal Decorative).
• Bloom Size: Small (BB). Symmetrical blooms typically measure around 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter—a versatile size for both garden display and floral design.
• Height: Tall. A vigorous grower that reaches approximately 4 to 5 feet (120–150 cm) in height, producing strong, straight stems.
• Performance: Productive and Vibrant. Highly praised for its prolific blooming habit and sturdy stem quality. It is a reliable "pop of color" for market bouquets and is noted for being a healthy plant that stands out even in a crowded field.
