The Dahlia plant, a member of the daisy family, is a tuberous perennial celebrated for its magnificent flowers. With a history in ancient Mexico, this plant is now a favorite in gardens worldwide. Dahlias grow in an upright, bushy form with dark green leaves, serving as a striking focal point and providing a reliable floral display.
The plant’s most notable feature is its astonishing variety of blooms. Dahlias are available in an incredible range of sizes, shapes, and colors, excluding blue. Flower forms vary from simple daisies to dense, intricate pom-poms and massive “dinner-plate” blossoms. The vibrant colors and diverse arrangements make each bloom a unique work of art, providing a continuous show.
Dahlias thrive in full sun and prefer rich, well-drained soil. While perennials in warm climates, their tubers must be lifted and stored indoors in colder regions. They are a staple in flower beds and borders, and are popular in cut flower gardens due to their long vase life. Their beauty and versatility make them a cherished addition to any garden.
