Mignon and Single Dahlias

Dahlias are absolutely breathtaking flowers. Flowering for months, they inject color and drama wherever you grow them: in mixed borders in the garden, in containers or window boxes on balconies, and on patios.

They are available in a rich variety of bloom colors, shapes, and sizes. Flowers can be as small as 2 inches in diameter or up to one foot. They can be single-flowering (orchid-flowering, anemone,s and collarettes) or double-flowering (cactus, semi-cactus, formal or informal decorative dahlias, balls, and pompons). Their wide height range can start as low as 12 inches and go up to 6 feet.

Single Dahlias feature blooms with a single row of flat or slightly cupped ray florets arranged in a flat plane, uniformly overlapping, preferably in the same direction with no gaps. The disc flowers may have up to three rows of bright yellow or orange pollen, and the blooms are over two inches in diameter (5 cm). Pollinators love these Single-Flowered Dahlias! If you want to provide something special for bees, butterflies or other pollinating insects still active in late summer of fall, choose a Single Dahlia!

Mignon Dahlias possess the same formation as Single Dahlias, except they have round ray floret tips, their disc flowers have no more than two rows of pollen, and their blooms are under two inches in diameter.

Perfect for small gardens or container display, Single Dahlias include the highly prized dark-leaved Dahlias with their masses of stunning flower colors, which contrast strikingly with their deep mahogany to black foliage. Effect in the garden guaranteed!
