Collarette dahlias feature a single row of broad petals encircling a central disc, accented by a delicate collar of smaller petals. This unique structure creates a two-layered effect, often with contrasting colors that add depth and visual interest. Their open centers make them particularly attractive to pollinators, supporting garden biodiversity.
Blooming from midsummer until frost, these dahlias thrive in full sun with well-drained soil and benefit from regular deadheading to prolong flowering. Their compact to medium growth habit makes them excellent for borders, mixed plantings, and cut flower arrangements.
