My Favorite Autumn Dahlias
I always begin an autumn bouquet with the same few dahlias- never fails. Here are my top 4 autumn favorites:
Miss Amara- Why is she my go to? Because this dahlia goes with everything! Even in her different colorings, she still works with everything. And she blends all the other colors together. Therefore making a seamless color palette for your bouquet. If you struggle to put together color palettes, get Miss Amara- she’ll make everything right!
Valley Rust Bucket- Every time I see this dahlia, I think of mini pumpkins. She’s definitely the accent bloom in a fall bouquet- the one that should sit a bit higher than everyone else so you don’t lose her to some showoff fluffy dinnerplate. She’s small but mighty and too good to not have in your collection!
Small Burgundy- One of these days I’m going to figure out the exact name of this variety. I think most of them are black satin at this point. There were a few others mixed in but I think they have phased out over time. Burgundy is a hard color to find in florals but I feel that burgundy dahlias are one of the truest burgundy flowers out there! Burgundy screams fall and add a bit of drama to any bouquet.
Sylvia- It’s fall, you gotta have some orange. I like Sylvia because she’s orange but not such an in your face color as other oranges- very pleasant. I don’t want orange screaming in my face. It needs to just subtly be there. Sylvia is very heat tolerant too!
Grab a few new additions to your Fall bouquets- these 4 go with just about anything else you have in your garden in Fall!
