Crème de Cassis Decorative Dahlia

Named for the dark blackcurrant liqueur, Crème de Cassis is a dahlia built on contrast. Each petal is two-toned, a soft dusty lilac-pink on the face backed by a rich plum-wine reverse. As the petals curl gently inward, both shades show at once, giving every bloom a layered, almost watercolor depth that shifts with the light and the angle you view it from.

Crème de Cassis is also a standout cut flower. A few stems in a simple vase feel elegant and a little romantic, and the plants keep producing from midsummer until frost, so there is always another bloom on the way. For gardeners who love dahlias but want something quieter and more nuanced than the usual jewel tones, this is the one to reach for.
