Introducing the Fall Giants Collection from Flaming Acres Dahlias
At Flaming Acres, fall is our favorite kind of finale. When the air turns crisp and the sun hangs low in the sky, our largest dahlias begin to take the spotlight—unfurling layer after layer of petals in glowing oranges, deep burgundies, bronzed golds, and creamy whites. These are the blooms that stop you in your tracks.
We’ve gathered six of our most spectacular A and AA-form dahlias into a special Fall Giants Collection—each one chosen for its rich autumn color, dramatic size, and late-season bloom time. Perfect for seasonal bouquets, harvest displays, or simply celebrating the beauty of change.

These are the heavy-hitters of the dahlia world—large-form blooms in sunset shades, earthy tones, and harvest hues. With 6"–10" flowers and bloom times that often peak in late summer to early fall, these varieties are tailor-made for seasonal displays and unforgettable autumn arrangements.

Fall Styling Tip: Pair with Dried Elements
To really showcase these fall giants in a vase, try pairing them with:
Dried grasses like pampas, miscanthus, or bunny tails
Seed pods such as poppy, scabiosa, or nigella
Textural elements like preserved oak leaves, wheat stalks, or curly willow
Earthy fillers like dried eucalyptus, strawflower, or yarrow
These natural accents balance the softness of the dahlias with contrast and structure—creating arrangements that feel both abundant and grounded, like fall itself.
“Let the seasons show off—especially this one.”
ENJOY!
