Dahlia Iced Tea

Dahlia ‘Iced Tea’ – Apricot-Terracotta Decorative Dahlia Tuber

Dahlia ‘Iced Tea’ is a sophisticated Decorative Dahlia prized for its beautifully layered double blooms and unusual warm-toned color palette.
The flowers develop a glowing blend of apricot, peach, amber, terracotta and bronzy-pink tones, often appearing deeper toward the center and gradually fading to lighter outer petals for a beautiful natural ombré effect. RHS describes the blooms as bronzy pink to peach, while specialist growers highlight amber, terracotta and peach tones.
Flowers measure approximately 14 cm across, while mature plants typically reach around 100–120 cm tall. Its strong cutting qualities and distinctive warm coloring make Iced Tea an exceptional variety for cutting gardens, wedding flowers and sophisticated floral arrangements.

Growing in Kuwait

• For Kuwait conditions, Dahlia ‘Iced Tea’ is best grown during the cooler growing season once extreme summer temperatures have declined.
• A practical planting period is: October to November
• Plant tubers approximately 10–15 cm deep, positioning the crown and growing eyes upward.
• Avoid excessive watering immediately after planting. Once shoots emerge and active roots develop, gradually increase watering while maintaining excellent drainage.
• Provide strong sunlight during the cooler months, with some protection from intense afternoon heat as temperatures rise toward the end of the season.
• Because plants can reach approximately 100–120 cm tall, staking or plant support is recommended.
