Florelie Antique

Florelie Antique, bred by Lorelie Merton of Florelie Seasonal Flowers (Australia), is a 5–6″ decorative in cream, blush, and café-au-lait tones. One of my most loved new additions — this bloom is basically the Dapper Dahlias version of vintage champagne, and yes, The Gardening Moose keeps going back for refills.

🌸 Full Product Description

✨ Dahlia ‘Florelie Antique’ — Timeless Elegance in Neutral Blends

From Lorelie Merton’s Florelie breeding program, Antique embodies refined beauty with its decorative blooms in soft cream and blush, touched with subtle café-au-lait undertones. The color shifts are delicate and consistent, giving it a warm, vintage glow.

Blooms average 5–6″ across, and plants grow to around 4 ft tall with long, strong stems that hold flowers upright and make them a dream for cutting. Petals are tightly packed with excellent form, giving every bloom that polished, show-ready look.

It’s elegant without being fussy — the kind of dahlia that can class up a bouquet, stand solo in a vase, or anchor a soft-toned garden bed. And Moose logic says: if you’re going to have antiques, they might as well be the kind that keep blooming all season.
