All in the Family Dahlias

I like to call this group- The Sibling Dahlias. Sometimes I even plant them all together just so I can tell people about them when they come to visit the farm. Cornel is the original, bred a long time ago by Cor Geerlings (Geerlings Dahlia) in the Netherlands. The variety often sports so several other dahlias have come from this line. I grow these three on a consistent basis, although I have tried the others.

Cornel is the perfect red, deep and crimson. I don’t grow a lot of red dahlias but I’ll always grow this one.

Cornel Bronze- sometimes it amazes me how popular this dahlia still is after how long it’s been around. But then it blooms and I remember just how great it is- perfect for just about any situation. The best autumnal tone!

Caitlyn’s Joy- This one is a color changer- darker pinky/purple in heat and fades to more of a muted mauve tone when it cools. Perfect for blending colors together.
