Dahlias are beautiful flowers that originate from Mexico, where they grow wild. In the past, dahlias were not only grown for their beauty, but also for food and as a medicinal plant. It was thought that the dahlia had a painkilling effect. Today, dahlias are especially popular because of their diversity. There are more than 20.000 varieties in countless colors, shapes and sizes.

Thanks to their unique ability to cross with different species, new varieties are constantly being created. At Florastore you will find an extensive collection of dahlias, including the cactus dahlia, fimbriata dahlia, pompon dahlia, ball dahlia, decorative dahlia and single-flowered dahlia. Read more about these special species below.
Cactus Dahlia
The cactus dahlia stands out because of its unique flower shape. The petals are rolled up for two-thirds, which gives the flower a spiky appearance. These leaves can be rolled up both inwards and outwards and often have deeply incised tips. This structure allows rainwater to drain away easily, so that the flower does not become top-heavy and remains upright, even during rain showers. Cactus dahlias are available in vibrant colours and are a real eye-catcher in the garden. They owe their name to their spiky appearance, which is reminiscent of a cactus.
Fimbriata Dahlia
The fimbriata dahlia resembles the cactus dahlia, but is distinguished by its beautifully fringed petals. This flower is also known as the deer antler dahlia because of the divergent points at the ends of the petals. This special appearance makes the fimbriata dahlia an elegant addition to any garden.
Pompon Dahlia
The pompon dahlia is a small, round flower with a remarkably compact structure. The petals are rolled up in a funnel shape and form a spiral in the middle. Thanks to this shape, rainwater can easily drain away, so that the flower remains firmly in place. Pompon dahlias are ideal for smaller gardens or as colourful accents in a flower border.
Ball dahlia
The ball dahlia is the larger counterpart of the pompon dahlia. The flowers are from five centimeters large and keep the same almost perfect round shape. The round petals of the ball dahlia can retain rainwater, which is often used as drinking water by insects. These flowers are perfect for those who love symmetry and structure in the garden.
Decorative dahlia
The decorative dahlia is one of the most popular types. This dahlia is characterized by wide, flat petals that together form a double flower. The petals are rounder in the middle and become more pointed towards the outside. Thanks to their lush shape and rich colors, decorative dahlias are a beautiful eye-catcher in any garden.
Single flowered dahlia
The single-flowered dahlia has a simple yet elegant appearance with only one ring of petals. The open heart of this flower makes it easy for bees and butterflies to get to the pollen. This makes single-flowered dahlias excellent flowers to create a bee and butterfly friendly garden.
