If you love sherbet-tinted dahlias, ‘Apricona’ is a must-grow. This small decorative dahlia glows in golden apricot and soft yellow shades, giving your dahlia garden that warm summer sunset feel from the moment it starts to bloom.
With a tidy, upright structure, ‘Apricona’ produces a steady stream of 6" blooms that are easy to cut and arrange. The plant has a naturally clean habit, so it looks just as good in the garden as it does in a vase on your kitchen table.
Dahlias love to be cut, and Apricona really responds to regular harvesting. The more stems you take for bouquets, the more blooms it sends up—making it a great choice for anyone growing a cut flower garden, small flower farm, or backyard cottage garden. Its form and balance also make it a potential exhibition contender if you like to show blooms or just enjoy that “show bench” look in your own yard.
If you’re shopping dahlia tubers and want something reliable, productive, and easy to work into mixed arrangements, ‘Apricona’ is a beautiful option in the dahlias for sale lineup.
Farmer Notes
Color is a soft golden apricot with yellow highlights—plays beautifully with peaches, creams, and warm pinks.
Very upright habit, which makes staking and harvesting easy.
A strong producer: great for regular cutting through summer.
Bloom size is big enough to star in a bouquet but still easy to mix with other flowers.
The neat, decorative form makes it one to watch for exhibition-style blooms.
