The intensity of color and warmth of AC Dark Horse is quite incomparable in a summer garden. Its vivid purple-hot pink-red blooms display a grand frizzy air. The pointy long petals streaked with white tips, heighten its rich coloring. This is an absolute favorite among dahlias to add a tropical feel. Tall stems and flower form make them a good cut.Ā
