La Belle Epoque is more than a dahlia—it’s a work of art that spins light and nostalgia into every mesmerizing bloom. Each flower is a lush confection of dusky pink, mauve, and cool apricot, blushed with gold and an antique glow that no camera or words can ever quite do justice. The petals are relaxed and loosely arranged, giving off a gentle, “old world” opulence with every opening bud, while the plum centers and trailing sunset tones invite you to linger just a bit longer. Standing 3–4 feet tall on long, elegant stems, the 4–5 inch blooms are florist catnip: made for wedding bouquets, heirloom tables, and the kind of arrangements that draw double-takes—and gasps.
But here’s the secret, and the true selling point: La Belle Epoque is almost chameleon-like, subtly shifting color with the day and season, sometimes glowing with gold, sometimes casting smoky-lavender shadows, always bringing new surprise and sophistication to each vase or border. The flowers are as prolific as they are enchanting, appearing steadily from summer well into fall, and lasting long after cutting.

Why you need this variety:
La Belle Epoque drips with romance and vintage glamour—she’s the statement-maker, the head-turner, the dahlia every florist, bride, and garden painter dreams of. If you only grow one to truly feel the “wow,” let it be this unforgettable, heirloom treasure.
