How we measure your trees
When you order a 5–6 ft. tree, you get a tree that's 5–6 ft. tall above the soil, not "including the container." You'll know what to expect when it arrives, and what it will look like in the ground.

La Luna Dahlia: A Glow of Soft Yellow Blooms for Your Garden
La Luna Dahlia is the kind of flower that makes you stop and take a second look. With large, fully double blooms in a soft, buttery yellow, this dahlia brings a warm glow to any garden or floral arrangement. The flowers are full and rounded, with layers of delicate petals forming a perfectly symmetrical bloom. Unlike the brighter, more intense yellow dahlias, La Luna offers a gentler, almost ethereal presence—like moonlight in flower form.
If you’re looking for a dahlia that stands out without being overwhelming, La Luna is a perfect choice. It’s easy to grow, produces blooms all season long, and makes an excellent cut flower. Whether you plant it in your garden, a patio container, or a dedicated cut-flower bed, you’ll get months of stunning, long-lasting blooms.
What Makes La Luna Dahlia Special?
1. Soft, Dreamy Yellow Blooms
Most yellow dahlias lean toward gold or bright lemon tones, but La Luna offers something different. Its soft, creamy yellow petals make it a perfect fit for romantic garden designs, pastel-themed bouquets, or even as a contrast to bolder-colored flowers.
2. A Cut-Flower Favorite
La Luna produces long, sturdy stems that make it ideal for cutting. The blooms last well in a vase, often holding their shape for over a week. If you love arranging your own fresh flowers, this dahlia will quickly become a favorite.
3. Continuous Blooms Until Frost
One of the biggest benefits of growing dahlias is their extended blooming period. La Luna will start flowering in mid-to-late summer and continue producing new blooms until the first frost. The more you cut the flowers, the more it encourages new growth—so you can enjoy an abundance of fresh blooms for months.
4. Perfect for Containers and Garden Beds
With a mature height of around 36–48 inches, La Luna is a great choice for garden borders, raised beds, and large containers. It adds height and dimension to any space, and its soft yellow flowers pair beautifully with pinks, purples, whites, and greens.
5. Attracts Pollinators
Dahlias are excellent for attracting bees and butterflies to your garden. While the fully double blooms of La Luna aren’t the most accessible for pollinators, you may still notice an increase in beneficial insects around your plants.
Design Ideas & Uses for La Luna Dahlia
Romantic Cottage Gardens
With its soft, pastel yellow hue, La Luna is a perfect fit for English-style cottage gardens. Pair it with lavender, pink roses, and white daisies for a dreamy, romantic look.
Cut-Flower Arrangements
The long-lasting nature of La Luna’s blooms makes them ideal for bouquets and floral centerpieces. They blend well with both warm and cool-toned flowers, making them versatile for any season’s arrangements.
Patio & Balcony Containers
If you don’t have a garden bed, La Luna thrives in large pots. Just be sure to provide support so the tall stems don’t droop.
Seasonal Wedding Decor
The creamy yellow blooms of La Luna work beautifully in wedding floral designs, particularly in late summer and early fall weddings. Brides and florists love it for its soft, natural color and sturdy petals.
Why Choose La Luna Dahlia Over Other Dahlias?
- More Subtle Yellow – Many yellow dahlias are bold and bright, but La Luna offers a soft, creamy yellow that’s easier to blend into various garden styles and bouquets.
- Long-Lasting Blooms – The flowers are exceptionally long-lasting in both the garden and in vases.
- Easy to Grow – Dahlias can seem intimidating, but La Luna is relatively low-maintenance if given proper sunlight and well-draining soil.
- Unique Look – The fully double, rounded shape of La Luna’s blooms makes it stand out among other dahlias.
