SPECIAL: Four large Dahlias, mixed

This mixture gives you four large dahlias with big beautiful flowers. We can't promise colors or exact flower size, but all are the large types, either dinnerplate or near-dinnerplate size. A mix of solids and bicolors.

Growing Dahlias (See combination photo): Dahlias are one of the most rewarding summer flowers; they're easy to grow with spectacular results. If you know them, you know all about it. If you don't, here is the information you need. First of all, dahlias are great for cutting, as you can see in the large top photo of an arrangement showing a lavish deep red dahlia right next to a large, voluptuous rose.

Dahlias are native to Mexico, but there's about as much resemblance between the original and the Dutch hybrids as there is between an old toy car and a brand new Mercedes. Dahlias for today's gardeners offer a really big gardening treat.

The "bulbs" are actually tubers, and look a lot like peony roots--sort of like a bunch of carrots. The plants grow quickly and some grow quite tall, always with lush deep green foliage. The flowers have been hybridized into various forms, the most famous being the "Dinnerplate Dahlias." They have huge double flowers up to 8", sometimes a whopping 10" across, so the name makes sense. "Decorative Dahlias" are others with flowers not quite so large. And the beautiful "Shogun Dahlias", also smaller, feature a special strain of particularly lovely bi-colors.

Dahlia DetailsPhotos A and C are examples of Dinnerplate Dahlias. As you can see, they come in both solids and bi-colors.
Photo B shows a whole border of dahlias in the garden.

It's easy. All the gardener needs to do is plant the tubers after spring frosts in good garden soil with full sun. It's best to postion them against a wall or be ready to stake them, since they are brittle, and must be protected from high winds. (If you've grown perennial delphiniums, the plant size and growth is similar, but success with dahlias is much easier.) Keep them free of bugs and well-watered, and your dahlias will begin to set buds by midsummer and be in full bloom, usually during July or August. Then the huge flowers keep coming until frost.

When frost threatens, just pull them up, cut off the stems, and store the tubers until the following spring. Each fall, you'll be amazed how the "bulbs" have multiplied during the summer, giving you more and more to divide and enjoy the next year.

One expert has said, "Never have so many gardeners received so much for so little work, as when they grow dahlias."
