The bright, vivid colors and rich, deep foliage-- just a couple of the many reasons Dahlias stand out among the spectacular flowers that are out there and available to customers.
What makes Skyline Flower Growers unique when it comes Dahlias, we grow some of them year round which is rare for growers. However, we have others that are only grow on a seasonal basis, typically grown between late May/June and November.
If you walk our farm, you can find our Dahlias grown in greenhouses and tunnels. They typically take 12 weeks to grow and are cut when fully open and blooming.
We recommend keeping the water as cold as possible to make the Dahlias last as long as possible. In fact, some of our farmers market employees tell customers to put ice cubes inside their vases to kept the water cold, cold. It's a simple trick that seems to make a big difference!
As far as the symbolism behind Dahlias, some say when given as a gift the dahlia flower expresses sentiments of dignity and elegance. Some also say it's the symbol of commitment and bond that lasts forever. Dahlias are used in many flower arrangements as well to celebrate love and marriage.
