Dahlia Freeman

Dahlia Café Au Lait is an absolute icon among dahlias and unrivaled as the best-selling item on our farm. Its huge flowers, often reaching the size of a dinner plate, cannot be overlooked. The color is completely unique and changeable, ranging in soft shades of creamy white, milky coffee, and powder pink, occasionally with a hint of salmon. Thanks to this specific coloring, it is loved by all brides and florists, as it fits perfectly into wedding bouquets and magnificent arrangements. In a vase, it looks majestic, and even a single flower can light up an entire room. In the garden, this variety forms a dominant element that attracts attention at first glance. The plants grow to a respectable height, often over a meter and a half, so it is advisable to provide them with support so they do not break under the weight of the massive blooms. It blooms tirelessly from July until the first frosts, and its pastel tones soften any perennial planting. If you are looking for a plant that adds structure to flower beds while providing premium cutting material, Café Au Lait is the clear choice.

'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.

Strawberries and cream! Giant blooms, large petals. The center is creamy yellow, and the petals blend from red-pink to a light blush color.

It looks like the fraternal twin of the Islander Dahlia. Only the petals are straight and curved at the ends, looking more polished and orderly. But if you are looking for a smaller Dahlia, you've come to the wrong place; the flowers are just as big—the best ones reach up to 25 cm.

The 'Totally Tangerine' Dahlia captivates at first glance with the unusual anemone shape of its smaller flowers, sized around eight centimeters. Its distinctive center is formed by a cushion of tiny florets in red-orange shades, which are bordered by yellowish edges. The petals around the perimeter of the flower transition into softer pink shades. In flowerbeds, it looks playful and natural, while in vases, it adds a unique texture to bouquets.

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.

The 'Feline Yvonne' Dahlia is an unmissable ball variety that will brighten up any flowerbed with its intense cyclamen to fuchsia flowers. The flowers, with a diameter of approximately ten centimeters, have a regular shape and work as a striking color element in bouquets.

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!

The 'Evanah' Dahlia is a popular decorative variety that captivates with its medium-sized flowers with a diameter of around twelve centimeters. It stands out with a delicate shade of pastel to dusty pink color, which easily harmonizes in romantic wedding bouquets. In the flowerbed, it plays the role of a beautiful, subtle accent.

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!

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.

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!

The absolute cutest and most popular pompon among white Dahlias. It fits perfectly into wedding arrangements—size-wise even for wreaths; the color isn't pure white, but rather light cream, yellowish. Balls made of tiny rolled petals bloom like drumsticks on straight thin stems.

The 'Salmon Runner' Dahlia is a striking decorative variety with full flowers about ten to twelve centimeters in diameter. Its petals have a rich coral color, where tones of red and warm salmon pink blend together.

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