Omega Laciniated Dahlia

Omega Laciniated Dahlia

Picture a single, glorious bloom that seems to hold the colors of sunset within its petals: smoky coral, peach, rose, and gold all blending in a soft, glowing gradient. Dahlia “Omega” unfurls in an exuberant laciniated form, its petals twisting and teasing the light so that the blossom appears to shimmer. As a garden or cutting-garden focal point, it commands attention without shouting — its tonal depth draws you in, beckoning you to lean closer and savor the rich, warm complexity of its hues.

A Bit of History

“Omega” is beloved among dahlia enthusiasts and boutique cut-flower growers alike for its dramatic dinnerplate size and versatile coloration. Its smoky coral blooms, laced with apricot, gold, and rose undertones, evolve through the season — a living palette that deepens as the blossoms mature. 

Gardeners praise it for continuing to open large blooms deep into fall, resisting the “blown out” look many dinnerplates adopt late in the season.
