Anemone Dahlias and Collarette Dahlias are two captivating varieties within the diverse world of dahlias, each bringing a unique charm and aesthetic to gardens.

Anemone Dahlias

Anemone dahlias are known for their distinctive and whimsical flower structure. Their blooms consist of a central mass of tubular petals, often vividly colored, which create a cushion-like appearance. This ‘pompon’ of petals is surrounded by a ring of flat ray petals, forming a striking contrast. The anemone type is particularly noted for its playful, almost whimsical appeal, adding a touch of whimsy to any garden. The central, elongated petals are usually a different color than the outer petals, creating an eye-catching color contrast that can vary widely across different cultivars.

Collarette Dahlias

Collarette dahlias, on the other hand, offer a slightly more refined appearance. Their blooms feature a single row of flat petals encircling a central disc. Around this disc is a ‘collar’ of smaller petals, often a different color or shade than the outer petals. This two-layered effect gives the Collarette Dahlia a unique and elegant look, making them standout additions to flower beds, borders, and even as cut flowers.

Both types typically bloom from midsummer to the first frost, providing a long-lasting display of color and form. Their blooms are visually stunning and attract various pollinators, including bees, butterflies, making them valuable for supporting garden biodiversity.

In terms of care, Anemone and Collarette Dahlias thrive in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun. Regular deadheading helps prolong blooming, and in colder climates, their tubers can be lifted and stored over winter for replanting the following spring.

Anemone and Collarette Dahlias are excellent choices for gardeners seeking to blend playful charm and understated elegance into their gardens. Their unique flower forms and vibrant colors make them captivating focal points in any setting, whether planted en masse, in mixed borders or used in decorative pots and containers.
