All the White Dahlias- Pantone Color of the Year 2026: Cloud Dancer
Well love it or hate it- it’s here- the Pantone Color of the Year for 2026- “Cloud Dancer”. It’s a pretty fancy white color and since I grow a lot of white flowers- I figured why not show you some of my favorite white dahlias. Let’s go!
We’ll start with my two most faithful white dahlias- I can always rely on these two— Blizzard and Ryecroft Jan. If I’m looking for a non rounded shape then I go for Bridezilla and Karma Maarten Zwaan.
Bridezilla is especially pretty late in the season as it gets very creamy in color and very fluffy- almost peony like!
Roque Starburst
Roque Starburst has been a long time favorite when it comes to larger whites. Although not always the best tuber maker- I’ve had trouble keeping it some years which is why I rarely sell it.
Sterling Silver has become a new favorite this year- second year growing it and wow— talk about fluffy pillowy clouds of dahlias! It’s a bit later than my other whites but I think it’s worth it!
KA’s Snow Jo is a beautiful iridescent white. I can’t recommend this one for the South but if you don’t live down here- grow it! Prolific and gorgeous color hits on a white backdrop!
Beaucon White
Beaucon White is probably my favorite dahlia to recommend for wedding work if you want something along the decorative lines. It’s size is perfect - not so big that it steals the show but definitely still gets noticed.
Caramel Antique
From a color perspective- I love this dahlia but she makes the worst tubers that are impossible to store. Maybe grow it from cuttings each year. I finally had to give up on it even though I love it! Although I think I may have found a replacement ;)
So what’s your favorite white? I always love trying new white varieties because I can never have enough white dahlias!
