SO60 is a sola dahlia coloured in a bright coral-red, and the image shows a group of flowers, which highlights both its colour and its lively texture. The outer petals are pointed and slightly ruffled, fanning out in layers, while the inner petals curl and roll into a rose-like centre.
The dye settles naturally into the grain of the pith, so each petal shows faint lighter streaks and deeper tones at the folds. This gives the red a soft, painterly quality rather than a flat plastic finish, and makes the petal layers easy to read.
The warm, celebratory colour suits Valentine’s and festive décor, Indian wedding and mehndi styling, Christmas arrangements and gifting. SO60 also works as a bright accent among ivory sola flowers, dried grasses and gold-painted botanicals.
Floral Mongers supplies this dyed dahlia among its handmade sola flowers for wholesale and export, with other shades and size grading on request.

Natural variation
Dye uptake varies with the density of the pith, so the red can shift slightly between coral and deeper tones from piece to piece; the handmade ruffled petals also differ in fullness. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Store in a cool, dry place; sola pith takes up moisture from humid air
- Keep away from strong direct sunlight to help the dyed colour hold its depth
- Handle with dry hands to avoid marking the dyed petals
- Dust gently with a soft brush or a hair-dryer on a cool setting
- Diffuser or fragrance oil can be applied; test one piece first, as oil may darken the pith
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
