Dahlia Thomas A. Edison

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.

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!

The list of the 10 most popular Dahlias at our farm begins with this one. A color loved by all brides. Coral pink with highlights transitioning in places to apricot and even light salmon. A foundation for every Dahlia garden.

Giant, giant. Some blooms grow up to 26 centimeters! They bloom in pure white on beautiful straight stems, facing forward.

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!

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.

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

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.

The palest pink, darker stems for contrast, centers slightly creamy. The petals aren't pointed but beautifully rounded, creating a delicate and tender impression. Even in full bloom, the flowers don't form a full ball; the back is flat, forming more of a hemisphere.

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.

From the anemone-flowered family. The plants don't grow very big, but the flowers are absolutely unique. A soft creamy yellow full center with beautifully rounded white petals. Thanks to the delicate color combination, it fits beautifully into weddings.

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.

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.

Large, large flowers in shades of purple. They bloom on beautifully long, straight stems. The petals are long, pointed at the ends, and slightly twisted, resembling the shape of the sun. The flowers face forward, which can sometimes be an arranging challenge, but that color and size!

A must-have on this year's list of Top new arrivals! A giant flower, wavy petals, and a darker salmon-coral color with reflections resembling pink mother-of-pearl.

Our favorite collarette Dahlia (those are the ones with a center and a few petals, resembling a Cosmos or Daisy more) and no wonder! It fits beautifully into weddings! The center is dark burgundy, petals range from salmon to red to apricot. The leaves and stems are dark green to black, creating a breathtaking contrast in the bed. Waltzing Mathilda cannot be missing from our top 10 list!

A purple pompon Dahlia. The blooms are smaller, but it creates lush plants and rewards you with an abundance of flowers.

This Dahlia is reliability itself—it blooms profusely. A soft shade of orange. And if you want a Dahlia for the garden just for the pleasure of looking at it, you've come to the right place. Mainly because of the flood of dark burgundy-green foliage reaching up to the waist, in which the flowers stand out beautifully. When it blooms to full opening, the center is dark burgundy to black, so it's a double win.

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!

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!

This simple collarette Dahlia has a white collar around a yellow center and light pink petals.

We have long been looking for a Dahlia that rivals Café au lait. We don't know for sure yet, but Shilloh Noel is at least a candidate. The flowers are large but appear beautifully delicate; the color is the lightest pink, just slightly purplish. If a swan weren't white, it would certainly be this color! It just blooms later in the season, so we recommend protected spots where it will survive the first autumn frosts.

A violet lilac shade softening towards the edges. A delicate and fragile-looking beauty, but it blooms profusely and forms quite tall plants. Great for wedding 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.

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.

There are never enough dark burgundy Dahlias, which is why we worked hard to expand our assortment this year, and this is another one of our new additions. In this color, it's good to have both large and smaller blooms, and Rip City belongs to the large family! The petals curl backward at the edges, and the centers darken into a velvety texture.

The fringed petals create quite a wild look. Plus, giant blooms in sandy yellow, transitioning in places to a light apricot color.

A tiny pompon in ginger shades ranging from orange and red to a raspberry center. The tips of the petals are raspberry, while the centers are yellow-orange. A big thumbs up from us for the watercolor effect, which looks beautiful!
