Berner Oberland
Berner Oberland greets the season with showy plum-violet decorative blooms, opening as the very first dahlia in the field and continuing in lush waves until frost. Her 6-inch blossoms catch the light, washed in rich purple drama that leans plummy rather than fuchsia. Plants stay neat and manageably upright—a dream for cutting, arranging, and making a splash in early bouquets.
Height: About 3–4 feet
Bloom size: 6 inches
Form: Decorative; soft, abundant petals with classic fullness
Color: Saturated plum, a true medium purple with hints of velvet
Vigor: Exceptionally early and prolific; first to bloom and holds strong all season
Stem strength: Sturdy, excellent for cutting, long stems
Special notes: outpaces similar purples for bloom time and productivity
Why you need this variety:
Berner Oberland is your field’s head start—rich plum blooms weeks before others, then keeps on giving. For collectors, florists, and anyone who craves early, saturated color, there’s nothing else quite like her
