Decorative Dahlias

There are two types of Decorative Dahlias: Formal Decorative and Informal Decorative. Both are double blossoms. The broad, flat petals of Formal Decorative Dahlias are evenly and uniformly spaced and recurve toward the stem. The petals of Informal Decorative types are less regular in their arrangement and are sometimes wavy, twisted, or rolled at their tips. In the size of the plants and their blossoms, these Dahlias run the gamut from compact to tall to Dinnerplate varieties.
