FIMBRIATED DAHLIAS

A fimbriated type is one where the ends of the petal are split into two or more divisions.

Fimbriation can occur with any petal formation, but it is most prevalent with Cactus and Semi-Cactus types. As some petals are split into more than two ends, these dahlias are known as Laciniated in North America.
