Hello, so my daughter picked out this Dahlia on Sunday, and we’ve planted it last night, and we came home today seeing this.

What is going on? Is there a fix? Thank you for your time.

    I’m no Dahlia expert, but I’m offer some thoughts.

    Transplanting is a bit traumatic. Did you give it lots of water?

    It’s interesting though because the leaves and the buds look pretty good (not water stressed).

    It may just that it was a bit stressed and have to on that flower.

    Is the flower stem damaged in any way?

      Flower stem and leaves seemed fine and not dehydrated (I did the fold method on leaves to check).

      We did not water after transplanting.

      I did end up giving her a little bit of water before bed last night though. And woke up this morning to her all perked up! Not sure if the water helped, or she became acclimated, but my daughter will be waking up happy!
