Dahlias are amongst many gardener’s top favourite blooms, and they come in a wide range of colours. However, while this amount of choice is initially what attracts many gardeners, in reality it can actually make it difficult to decide which shades to choose for your garden.Â
When I visited Beekenkamp Plants in the Netherlands, I discovered their helpful dahlia colour palette quiz, which allows you to choose your ideal range of shades based on some personality questions. Isn’t that cute?
The four palettes in the Labella collection:
-
- Play – You love cheerful, playful shapes and experimenting with them! That’s exactly what gives this trend a dynamic look. Important here is the optimism radiated by the combination of products. To get creative with!
-
- Fiesta – Celebrate life! That is the motto of LaBella Fiesta. It is a joyful exuberance full of passion, expressiveness and colour. It creates a warm summer atmosphere reminiscent of southern Europe but sometimes reminiscent of Central America.
-
- Infinite – Dream away in romantic trend LaBella Infinite. You will find lots of round, playful shapes in soft and pastel colours. These shapes exude tranquillity and harmony.
-
- Earth – The LaBella Earth style trend is natural, authentic and feral. You’ll find lots of dark brown and natural colours. Dahlia flowers are small and not completely filled with petals.

Get my style
My style of dahlia is LaBella Earth: natural, authentic and feral with lots of dark browns and natural colours. The LaBella Earth series is – as you guessed it – an earthy palette with red-browns, warm peaches, golden yellows and creamy whites.
However, it’s not just about the dahlia shades. Beekenkamp displayed this collection with lots of natural materials like stone containers, reclaimed decor pieces and mixed textures.
