Dahlia 'Break Out'

The dahlia variety with pale coffee cream turning to pink with a hint of yellow at its heart is a delicate and graceful flower that combines subtle, warm hues, making it an elegant choice for gardens and floral arrangements. The petals start off with a soft, creamy coffee color—almost like a gentle beige or light taupe—which gradually transitions into a soft pink shade. At the heart of the bloom, you’ll notice a gentle touch of yellow, adding a lovely contrast and depth to the overall color palette.

This dahlia has a slightly muted, vintage feel to it, with its soft gradients creating a sophisticated, romantic effect. The petals often have a smooth, rounded shape, forming a perfectly balanced bloom that is both eye-catching and soothing in its subtlety.

Due to its soft, warm tones, this variety pairs beautifully with other pastel flowers, such as pale blush roses, lavender, or soft ivory. It also complements deeper shades like burgundy or rich purple for a more dramatic look. The gentle combination of coffee cream, pink, and yellow makes it perfect for weddings, especially if you're aiming for a vintage or rustic theme.
