Don't write off dahlias as your granny's flower. Here are 10 jaw-dropping varieties that will knock your socks off
‘Awe Shucks’
The 4-inch-wide blooms of soft yellow have random patterns of red striping all along the petals.
Border Choice’
As its name suggests, this plant is perfect for a hedge or border. Here’s why: It's 2 feet tall and covered in bright red, 3-inch-wide blooms.
‘China Doll’
So delicate, it had us fooled for porcelain! This dwarf dahlia reaches only 18 inches tall yet produces blooms that are 4 inches wide.
'Crichton Honey’
Apricot-bronze balls measuring 4 inches in diameter make this one an arranger’s dream.
‘Frank Holmes’
You’ve got to be kidding us with the delicate folds of each petal. Blooms are 1½ inches wide and a seductive shade of lavender.
‘Tanjoh’
Showy white blooms measure 4 inches across and look like they’ve been dipped in deep fuchsia.
‘Poppers’
Who needs fireworks on the Fourth of July if you have these in the garden? The 5-inch flowers pop out from everything else in the bed.
‘Juul’s Allstar’
The 2½-foot-tall bush covers itself in orchid-flowering blooms that are fuchsia with a bright yellow center.
‘Hulin’s Carnival’
It’s a party in each petal. No, really: The 4-inch-wide blooms are white with speckles and splashes of wine purple.
‘White Nettie’
We adore the creamy white blooms that measure just 2½ inches wide.
