Dahlias by Naomi Slade

The dahlia is a fabulous cutting flower for the home garden. Blooming in summer to autumn, this native flower of Mexico provides explosions of color in floral arrangements. The author’s commentary unearths the dahlia from its Aztec origins and imparts practical, hands-on knowledge for growing these special plants. Including classics like Café au Lait and lesser-known varieties like Voodoo and Honka, readers will discover a stunning range of specimens from tiny pompoms to heavy-headed dinner plate dahlias!
