THE GROWING WORLD OF DAHLIAS

FIMBRIATED DAHLIAS

Fimbriated dahlias have blooms where the tips of the ray florets should be evenly split or notched into two or more divisions, uniformly throughout the bloom to create a fringed overall effect. The petals may be flat, involute, revolute, straight, incurving or twisted.

Fimbriation can occur with any petal formation, but it is most prevalent with Cactus and Semi-Cactus forms. As some petals are split into more than two ends, these dahlias are known as Laciniated in North America.
