These snow-white petals are perfect for simple, elegant designs. The light and shadows will play off of each unique Dahlia form. Plus, they’ll easily coordinate with other colors, blending with softer hues and providing contrast to brighter colors.

The same genetics that give Dahlias their stunning range of color can also create a lot of variability and inconsistency when the flowers bloom. Most cultivars available today are reliable, but there can be surprises in the garden!

Here are a few things that you may see occasionally when growing Dahlias:

• A bicolor Dahlia may produce flowers with two colors one year, but grow one-color flowers the next.
• Dahlias with solid flowers, as a result of stress or genetic mutations, may grow a bi-color flower one year.
• Single-color flowers can express a range of colors, depending on the plant, your growing conditions, and the weather. Cafe Au Lait, one of the most popular Dahlias, is known for growing blooms that express a range of colors, from buff white to pale pink to pale yellow. 

Here are a few factors that influence Dahlia flower colors:

• Weather: heat and cold can affect growth rate, flower size, and flower production.
• Climate and soil: the nutrients in your soil and your growing conditions can affect flowering.
• Flower age: As flowers mature, you may see a shift in coloring as the petals open and expand. Some colors may become brighter, while others may fade. Enjoy the beauty of every phase!
