About the Dahlia
For a long time, the Dahlia had the image of being a plant for grandpas and grandmas. In recent years, the vinage plant has become very trendy. This is no wonder, as they are beautiful flowers in an incredible number of varieties: from single-flowered white flowers to spherical red velvety spheres with small, spoon-shaped petals. There are many special Dahlias with special names. Such as Dahlia Café au Lait or Dahlia Crème de Cassis.
Dahlias flower long and abundantly and they are available in endless variations of colours and shapes. They are ideal flowers to give colour to the garden from the end of the summer until the first frost. They combine beautifully with flower bulbs. As a cut flower, you can also bring them from the garden to your living room.
