A La Mode Dahlia
A la Mode Dahlia, Formal Decorative dahlias
The A La Mode dahlia cultivar features soft, orange-colored blooms with creamy white edges throughout the petals. This dahlia is full of delightful old-fashioned charm, and it always reminds me of ice cream melting atop my summer peach cobbler. Expect a lot of variation from the A la Mode blooms each bud will provide a new and unexpected variation on the delicious creamy-orange color way.
The delightful blooms of the A la Mode variety can grow up to 8 inches in diameter. A la mode is an early and very prolific bloomer - these plants consistently provide loads of blooms and great tubers. The blooms are borne on sturdy stems rising above mounded, bushy foliage. This dahlia grows up to 5 feet tall.
