A La Mode
A long-time favorite at the farm, A La Mode is the definition of "stunning." This dahlia is famous for its high-contrast, bicolor blooms that feature deep, velvety orange-red petals tipped in crisp, brilliant white. The "jewel tones" of this variety make it a showstopper in the field and a frequent star in our customers' you-pick bouquets.
As a formal decorative type, it offers a tidy, organized petal structure that looks as though it were hand-painted.

Why It’s a Garden Favorite

Robust Growth: Reaching 5 feet tall, this is a commanding plant that produces stems long enough for high-end floral work.
Grower's Note
Because of its height and the size of the 6–8" blooms, A La Mode definitely requires staking. To get the best bicolor "tipping," ensure the plant receives full sun; occasionally, the amount of white can vary slightly depending on the heat and light intensity!
