ANDRIES’ ORANGE, 1936        Rarest
Simple yet extraordinary, this charming dahlia became an instant staff favorite when it first bloomed here – and bloomed and bloomed and bloomed. And now it’s become a favorite of our customers, too! It’s a clear, companionable orange, never harsh or glaring, and its 3-4 inch, semi-cactus flowers on wiry stems are a flower arranger’s delight. Its Flemish name,‘Andries Oranje As’, commemorates a Jazz Age liqueur from the small Belgian town of As. 3-5 feet, reintroduced by us from the UK National Collection, now from Oregon. Chart to compare.

ARAB QUEEN, 1949        Rarest
With swirling petals of apricot, bronze, yellow, orange, and pink, this exuberant, post-war beauty may remind you of a windblown flurry of autumn leaves. And it’s big, up to 9-12 inches across. No wonder both Garden Gate and Gardening How-To have recommended it recently. 4-5 feet, from Oregon. Chart to compare.

ATROPURPUREA, 1789        Rarest
In the beginning, there was Dahlia atropurpurea. With lacy foliage and profuse, single flowers, it’s the dark purple form of D. pinnata, one of the first three wild dahlias to reach Europe from Mexico. Though its offspring soon left it in the dust, it’s handsome enough to earn a place in modern gardens – and will give you a refreshing new perspective on the spectacular diversity of dahlias today. 3 inches, 4-5 feet, from Oregon. Chart to compare.

BISHOP OF LLANDAFF, 1927
Dark-leaved dahlias are hot these days, thanks to this inspiring original. With cut-leaf, burgundy-bronze foliage and glowing scarlet, almost-single flowers sparked by a ring of vivid yellow stamens, ‘Bishop’ has starred at Wave Hill, Heronswood, the Denver Botanic Garden – and here! How can you garden another summer without growing it yourself? 3 inches, 4-5 feet, from Holland. Chart to compare.

BLOODSTONE, 1939        Web-Only & Rarest
Named for an ancient gemstone famed for its medicinal and magic powers (check out our newsletter article here), ‘Bloodstone’ is an absolute knockout. It blooms more profusely than any dahlia we’ve ever grown, with small, elegant flowers of dark, luminous red set against deep green leaves. Photos fail to convey its excellence – prepare to be wowed! 3 inches, 4-6 feet, from Oregon. Chart to compare.

BLUE DANUBE, 1948        Rarest
It’s not really blue, of course, but this intriguing dahlia is bluer than virtually any other. It’s a distinct, pearly, not-quite-lilac shade that has an almost unearthly glow about it in the soft light of early evening – perfect for enjoying as you relax at the end of a long hard day. Also known as ‘Bonny Blue’, from the UK National Collection of Dahlias, 3-4 inches, 4-5 feet, grown for us in Oregon. Chart to compare.

BONNE ESPERANCE, 1948
Here’s a sweet little classic for pots or the front of a sunny border. Just 12-18 inches tall, ‘Good Hope’ is loaded all summer with 2-3 inch, rosy pink flowers, each a single row of petals around a cheerful yellow button-eye. Nothing could be simpler, or prettier – and the bees will thank you for it, too. From Oregon. Chart to compare.
