A Bit of History

Dahlia 'Sierra Glow' has earned its cult status among flower farmers and garden designers for good reason. Bred and beloved in the Pacific Northwest — a region known for producing top-tier dahlia varieties — this cultivar offers both beauty and performance. Its radiant color palette is especially prized in late-summer to fall floral work, where it adds warmth and richness without overpowering softer tones. While not widely available in big-box stores, Sierra Glow remains a sought-after gem for growers looking to elevate their garden or bouquet offerings.
