All about the Dahlia

From spider to pompon, from brilliant white to deep dark red: Dahlia is a real seasonal favourite. Let this diva shine among richly studded berry branches or incorporate them into late summer picking bouquets. Dahlia is a fantastic pick flower. Whoever has it in the garden knows that you can keep picking until well into autumn. And as a florist you can't get bored of it either: there are so many colours and shapes that you can keep varying them.

The history of the Dahlia is a fascinating one.

The history of the Dahlia goes way back; it has been grown in the Netherlands since 1810. The plant is named after Swedish botanist Andreas Dahl (a student of Linnaeus).

Add berries and hips, too, if necessary. Post the end result on Instagram or Facebook with #dahliamania. Getting the hang of it? Organise a flatlay or mandala-making workshop with late summer and autumn flowers. Dahlias are available almost year-round, but traditionally, late summer is the Dahlia season.
