Dahlias are the showboats of the flower world—colorful, flamboyant, and spectacular. They’re also one of the most satisfying flowers to grow, with a long season, plentiful blooms, and are adaptable to most climates with proper care. They’re very easy to propagate, and can be hybridized. There are numerous dahlia flower forms and more than 50,000 recognized cultivars.
This charming little hardcover book features 60+ vintage-inspired full-color botanical illustrations and includes everything you need to know to grow gorgeous blooms in the garden (including dividing tubers to propagate more flowers), tips for creating beautiful arrangements, notable gardens and growers, quotes, and lore. For those who garden or those who just love flowers.
“This delightful celebration of the dahlia reads like a very smart love letter to cultivating beauty.” —Seattle Times.
