A Bit of History

The Terracotta Dahlia has grown in popularity thanks to its hard-to-find color — a true terracotta shade that’s neither too orange nor too brown. First gaining traction among specialty cut flower growers and florists, it's now considered essential for anyone building a warm-toned bouquet or late-season garden display. With its bold pigment and lush structure, Terracotta brings a grounded, natural feel to floral design.
