What is the rarest dahlia color?

Of the 20,000 varieties of dahlia flowers, only 10 to 20 kinds are black in color. Black dahlias are among the rarest, as they are notoriously difficult to cultivate. Other rare colors include purple, yellow, and white.

Why isn't there a blue dahlia?

You’d think blue flowers wouldn’t be too big a challenge. But a huge genetic roadblock stands in their way. Dahlias lack the gene for an enzyme called flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase (F3′5′H for short). F3’5’H carries out a key step along the route to an anthocyanin called delphinidin – the key pigment for blue flowers. Without it, dahlias can’t get to these blue hues.

What do dahlias symbolize?

Dahlias are highly symbolic flowers and are widely considered to convey a message of devotion, love, beauty, and dignity. For these reasons, they are often used on special occasions such as weddings; when couples want to express their most heartfelt emotions for each other.

Giving someone dahlias is an unspoken way of saying you appreciate their unique individuality, grace, and inner strength that makes them so special.
