DESCRIPTION
Dahlias originated in Mexico and Central America and have been cultivated for centuries, with extensive breeding giving rise to the remarkable diversity of forms available today. They are used in mixed borders, cutting gardens, containers, and dedicated display beds, and are prized for their long flowering season and exceptional range of colors and flower shapes. Equally at home in cottage gardens and more formal settings, dahlias bring bold seasonal interest and are among the most popular flowers for fresh arrangements.
Dahlia blooms range from simple singles to fully double forms, including decorative, cactus, ball, pompon, and waterlily types, in shades of white, cream, yellow, orange, peach, pink, red, purple, and nearly black, with many varieties displaying intricate blends and patterns. Rich green foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the flowers, which begin blooming in midsummer and continue until frost, delivering months of color and abundant cut flowers throughout the growing season.
