Description

Dahlias add wonderful summer colour and vibrancy to gardens and containers due to their lovely, lush spring foliage in various colour tones and dazzling flower styles. They range in height from the mini Bambino types only 20cm tall through to the towering tree giants of 3 to 4 metres. Flower size also varies from miniature collarettes only 3cm in diameter to the enormous exhibition dinner plates over 30cm wide. Flower styles vary from golfball to cacti to decorative to waterlily to anemone etc. They will grow well in full sunny locations from sub-tropical to cool climatic regions with some protection in winter for the tubers from frost.
