Dahlia pinnata
Dahlia

Dahlia is a stunning flowering plant known for its bold colours, intricate petal arrangements, and long blooming season. Native to Mexico and Central America, dahlias grow from underground tubers and produce upright stems topped with striking blooms in a wide range of shapes and sizes.

The flowers can be small and delicate or large and dramatic, with forms ranging from simple single petals to fully double, pom-pom, cactus, or decorative types. Colours include white, pink, red, purple, orange, yellow, and even bi-colours, often with beautiful gradients or contrasting centres.

Dahlias thrive in full sun and prefer rich, well-drained soil. They require regular watering during the growing season and benefit from feeding to encourage abundant blooms. Flowering typically begins in mid to late summer and continues until the first frost. Taller varieties may need staking for support.

Popular in garden beds, borders, and cut flower arrangements, dahlias are loved for their vibrant display and long-lasting blooms. With proper care, the tubers can be lifted and stored during colder months and replanted the following season, making them a rewarding and colourful addition to the garden.
