DESCRIPTION
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.

‘A La Mode’ is believed to have originated in the early 1990s and is often associated with Swan Island Dahlias, where it remains a longtime favorite. Its consistent performance and showy bicolor petals have made it a staple among home gardeners and cut flower growers alike.

    Dahlias are generally low-maintenance. They do best in well-draining soil and prefer full sun for optimal growth and flowering. Tubers can be planted outside after the last frost. Nourish with a balanced fertilizer once the plants are established.

    Throughout the growing season, provide regular watering, support for tall varieties, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Harvest blossoms when buds are 3/4 open.
