Why Caramel Antique Dahlia is a Must-Have (With a Catch)
Champagne Hues That Go With Everything:
Caramel Antique is a dreamy, soft-toned dahlia that plays well with any color palette. Its creamy champagne blooms sometimes hint at blush but never push into true yellow, making it a perfect alternative to white. Whether in a bouquet or the garden, this variety is effortlessly beautiful.
A Cut Flower Powerhouse:
With strong (but not too thick) stems and early, consistent blooms, Caramel Antique checks all the boxes for floral work. It holds up well in arrangements, bringing a soft elegance that fits everything from weddings to market bouquets.
The One Challenge—Tuber Storage:
Now, here’s the catch: storing Caramel Antique’s tubers is not for the faint of heart. They tend to be long, skinny, and tricky to keep over winter. If you’re new to tuber storage, this one will need extra care. Planning to propagate? Take cuttings as a backup. Dig it, wash it. Dry it. Store it immediately. Don't let it sit around for an extra day or two or nine.
Plant it. Enjoy it. Just don’t expect easy tuber storage. 🥂🌸✨
Welcome to the Dahlia Files
The Dahlia Files is our ever-growing library of blooms we’ve grown, loved, retired, and occasionally fired. Think of it as our not-so-secret vault: organized, categorized, and sometimes judged.
This is where we keep notes on every dahlia that’s passed through our fields—whether it’s a current favorite or a one-season wonder. These blooms aren’t for sale here (sad trombone 🎺), but you can see what is coming up or available to shop from the navigation bar, following on Instagram, and subscribing to the newsletter.
