Dahlia American Sunset

The American Sunset has the colour of a very beautiful sunset, truly magnificent. Her name suggests that she comes from America, but nothing could be further from the truth. Her cradle is close by, in Breezand in North Holland, where she was bred by Peter Komen. Peter has set the bar high in his breeding work, only the very best is good enough. When I sometimes walk through his seedlings with him, he always amazes me at what fantastically beautiful Dahlias he throws away. With the slightest defect, a Dahlia ends up on the compost heap. What a shame, I sometimes think, but on the other hand you also know that if you have a Dahlia from Peter, she is really good. The same goes for the American Sunset, not only is her colour fantastic, she is a healthy, strong, robust plant with a sea of ​​flowers. A Dahlia that brings joy to the garden, but also a perfect Dahlia to pick a bunch of.
