Collection: Dahlias

Dahlias, are the vibrant rebels of the flower world, with a history as rich and layered as their blooms. Originating in the wild terrains of Mexico, they were cherished by the Aztecs, not just for their striking beauty but for their practical uses in food and medicine.

In the late 18th century, these gorgeous blooms caught the eye of European explorers, who brought them back across the Atlantic. Once in Europe, dahlias ignited a horticultural riot. By the 19th century, dahlias had become the rockstars of European gardens, with breeders creating an explosion of varieties that showcased their limitless potential.

The dahlia was named after Swedish botanist Anders Dahl, a student of the famed taxonomist Carl Linnaeus. This naming honored Dahl's contributions to botany and his pioneering spirit, which helped establish the dahlia as a horticultural icon.

So, don your rebel hat and get ready to let these historic beauties steal the spotlight in your gardens and floral arrangements.
