Forget the Limitations of a Garden, Get Dahlias for Every Vase and Event
From captivating bouquets to stunning centerpieces, dahlias steal the show with their size and saturated colors. No wonder they’re a favorite flower choice! With a range of textures, colors and sizes, dahlias can add elegance, drama or a touch of whimsy. Dahlias can fit a casual or formal outdoor event, feel like a bohemian-chic wildflower, or suit a classic, romantic wedding. Plus, they symbolize commitment, making them as loved and versatile as roses.
But fresh cut dahlias do not take well to heat. And then, when designers try to compensate, overwatering can be a problem, leading to drooping blooms and yellowed leaves. With the stress of an event, designers can alleviate the fragility by using a lifelike artificial dahlia. Our botanically-correct dahlias with layers of soft petals come in a vast array of colors and solve the challenges of floral design.
About Pioneer’s Dahlia Flowers
Pioneer offers five exclusively designed Dahlia bushes, perfect for a wide range of uses, from events to home décor, these bushes provide trendy colors and reliable quality every time.
Traditional dahlias are 5-6” across, “dinner plate” dahlias extend 8” wide, and mini dahlias have 2-3” flowers great for bud vases and body flowers. The beauty of the silk dahlia is that you can secure the size and color you need without worry. Making event orders more certain with no waste or unexpected variations in bloom size.
We recognize that clients may envision various dahlia shapes. Some imagine shaggy, cheery, circular blooms, while others think of the rolled petals, layering to create tight pompom-like globes. That’s why we offer both true-to life varieties: wild, vibrant options for those seeking bold color and texture, and more compact orbs for a refined look.

About Dahlia Foliage
An important aspect of the flower, foliage is what gives a wedding bouquet texture, adding to its realistic look. Rich, green foliage also provides the canvas that makes the focal flowers pop. Designers should consider the entire stem when making their choice of artificial flowers and select flowers for their beauty top to bottom. At Pioneer, we pay attention to the entire stem, not just the petals, to give designers the complete look they need.
About Dahlia Season
Artificial dahlias not only alleviate designers' concerns about color and size consistency but are also available year-round. Fresh dahlia season is from May through mid-October, making them popular for summer weddings, parties, and seasonal arrangements. Many varieties of fresh dahlias are hard to find or sell out quickly. The varieties with a watercolor-like blend are quite popular among consumers. Having the blended color in fabric petals is a true asset for floral designers.
About Dahlia Prices *At the time of publication
While delivering a client’s vision is key, profitability is important for any floral designer. It’s another reason to consider faux flowers. Growing fresh dahlias is labor intensive, requiring experience and patience. Many farms abandon this crop for easier ones or charge a premium for their expertise.
Fresh cut dahlias range from $3.59/stem to $8.66/stem. In addition to addressing handling sensitivity and the uncertainties linked with fresh flowers for crucial event projects, it's beneficial to consider sourcing a lifelike alternative.
While other floral wholesalers ask $4.50-$34 per for a single stem or spray of fake dahlias, at Pioneer, we provide a bush of blooms, complete with foliage making it easy to ship and store. This economical bush construction means flowers start at just $.63 per bloom when buying by the bush! For designers who prefer to purchase the spray style, our premium stem is only $7.50!
