Dahlia 'A La Mode'

A La Mode Dahlia

Dahlia 'A La Mode' produces a profusion of creamy white blooms edged in soft coral, with each petal displaying unique variations in pattern and intensity. Some flowers appear nearly white with delicate coral tips, while others show bold streaks or fully saturated segments. The formal decorative form gives the blooms a lush, full look that makes them ideal for cutting gardens and floral arrangements. Blooming steadily from midsummer through fall, this dahlia adds layers of color and texture to late-season borders and bouquets.
