Dahlia Campus

'Linda’s Baby' is among the greatest beauties in the assortment of ball dahlias. For us, it is on the list of our top ten favorite varieties! Its medium-sized flowers combine delicacy and playfulness, which is why so many brides and florists have fallen in love with it. The color is changeable and hard to define with one word; pastel and coral pink mix with apricot reflections and transition into light salmon tones. It is precisely this ability to change shade according to the light that makes it an indispensable treasure for wedding bouquets. Like other ball varieties, it has the longest vase life of all dahlia types. You can support this by searing the stems after harvesting.

The 'Sweet Nathalie' dahlia won us over with its incredibly delicate color palette, from the lightest pastel pink to a creamy center. Thanks to this, it was one of the most used dahlias for weddings. It has perfectly shaped flowers and rounded petals. As a result, the whole plant has a very tender impression, which is further accentuated by the contrasting dark stems. The flowers reach a size of around 10 to 13 centimeters, and even in full bloom, they do not close into a complete ball, but rather maintain a hemisphere shape with a flat back.

We fell in love with Bacardi at first sight. Our absolute favorite Dahlia among this year's new additions. A soft burgundy-pink shade, the petals are darker underneath, just like the center of the flower. It fits perfectly into weddings, where burgundy shades are trendy right now. We cut flowers like crazy and still ran short, so next year we plan a whole bed!

Our favorite burgundy Dahlia! It doesn't stop for a moment; it's covered in blooms all season long. We have a whole bed and can't cut fast enough. We use it mostly for weddings, where similar colors are trendy right now. The flowers are medium-sized, averaging 10 cm, but sometimes smaller pieces can be found, perhaps for bolder wreaths.

Another hard-working Dahlia that rewards you with beds full of light lilac medium-sized flowers. The beautifully regular balls have darker violet centers, followed by several rows of lighter, almost white petals, finished with light lilac. A beautiful and tender color combination!

A classic among Dahlias! An adorable, very light pink, tiny pompon. The centers transition to white and resemble a snowy hill. A necessity if you grow flowers for wedding floristry!

Every time we go to harvest Dahlias, Labyrinth is on the list. It might not seem like it at first glance, but once you use it in an arrangement, there's no going back. For us, it beautifully symbolizes autumn and fits so wonderfully into wedding bouquets in autumn tones.

'White Perfection' is a representative of giant decorative dahlias, whose flowers reach up to 26 centimeters in size. They open in a perfectly pure white color without any other undertones, and thanks to strong, perfectly straight stems, they always face straight ahead. In the flowerbed, it works as a striking dominant feature, and in floristry, you can easily use it to create an unmissable main element for large arrangements.

A ball Dahlia is a must-have in every cutting garden. At the same time, the most beautiful orange of all! We'd put our hand in the fire for this one! It does not belong among the tallest variants, the plants reach slightly above the knees, but it is still great for cutting. The shade is not as uniform as with Cornel Brons; when finishing blooming, it lightens beautifully to a light apricot.

Love at first sight for everyone! Definitely on the list of the 10 most popular; it gets cut so much that it's a problem to find enough flowers to photograph. We don't grow many multi-colored varieties, but in this case, we have to admit that the combination of pink, powder, and burgundy can never be wrong! It can't be combined with every color, but for wedding work, it is an absolutely genius piece!

You can never have enough medium-sized pink pompons; anyone who has ever prepared flowers for a wedding knows that. That's why we are constantly on the hunt for Dahlias from this family, and this is a very successful find! The flowers are about 7-8 cm large and the pink is uniform.

A real workhorse! Planting Cornel Brons is a safe bet! The regular ball-shaped flowers are a rich brick orange color. Our plants reach up to our shoulders, covered in a flood of flowers. With this Dahlia, it is doubly true that the more you cut, the more it blooms. Beautiful, straight, sturdy stems—born for cutting.

The 'Esli' Dahlia captivates with its precisely shaped flowers in tones of light and pastel pink. Its color very often resembles sweet bubblegum pink, which gives an exceptionally fresh and playful impression in bouquets. As a typical representative of ball dahlias, it features compact flowers with a diameter of around five to seven centimeters.

A ball Dahlia like fine wine; the flower color perfectly resembles red wine. And that's a color you'll appreciate for wedding arrangements, as dark burgundy is trending! The flowers are very regular, medium-sized, and grow vigorously on long, beautifully straight stems.

Hats off, a hardworking Dahlia. It blooms on thinner stems with medium-sized flowers; deep yellow centers fade to a soft, pale yellow at the edges. The plants form rich, dense bushes up to waist height, so prepare plenty of space.

The flowers are giant, in shades of light lavender-pink that fades at the tips of the petals. The petal shape gives it a quite unique look. Since the tips aren't pointed, but rather rounded and elongated into a long teardrop shape, it looks quite princess-like. A perfect piece for weddings!

We are always looking for new varieties in dark burgundy, almost black, as it is a trendy wedding color. Black Jack is a serious candidate! The flowers are giant, and the petals are pointed. The leaves are captivatingly dark, so it delights not only in a vase but also in the flowerbed. It generally blooms as one of the last Dahlias; it takes its time. Therefore, we do not recommend it for higher altitudes; for farms, it is ideal to grow it in a polytunnel.

A wonderfully brick-orange ball Dahlia! The flowers are medium-sized, roughly 7-8 cm.

Dark red color and smaller flowers. Thanks to the smaller size, we use it for everything in wedding arrangements, from bouquets to wreaths.
