Dahlia

Dahlias are an essential part of late summer and autumn. These hardworking plants will reward your care with a flood of blooms in all sorts of shapes and colors. They fit perfectly into perennial beds, where they create striking focal points, but their real strength lies in cut flowers. Florists and we alike love them for wedding bouquets because they offer an amazing palette of shades, from pure white and soft pastels to deep burgundy.

There is a great rule with dahlias: the more you cut them for your vase, the more new buds they produce. To help them thrive and flower abundantly, we have put together a clear guide on how to grow dahlias.

Since these plants cannot handle our winters, you need to dig up the tubers before the frost arrives. If you are unsure about the process, check out our article on how to dig up dahlias, where you will find everything you need for their safe storage.
