Dahlia Meaning

The dahlia is the flower with the greatest variety of forms in the world: there are more than twenty thousand registered varieties, from little balls three centimeters (about an inch) across to heads the size of a dinner plate.

What it symbolizes

• Dignity and elegance. The classic meaning.
• Lasting commitment. That is why it appears at anniversaries.
• A one-of-a-kind bond. The Victorian reading: "you are unlike anyone else."
• Strength through change. It is a plant that regrows from its tuber every season.

Season in Argentina

From January to April, peaking in February and March (summer into fall in the Southern Hemisphere). It is a summer and autumn flower, which makes it an excellent alternative when peonies are gone and tulips have not arrived yet.

How to make it last longer

Dahlias are demanding: a hollow stem that rots quickly. Two things make all the difference. First, cut the stem under water and remove any submerged leaves. Second, change the water every day, not every other day. With that, it goes from four days to more than a week.

Availability of each flower changes with the season. If you are looking for a specific flower, ask us before ordering and we will confirm whether we have it.
