So many shapes and sizes!
Why the Dahlia?
The dahlia has a spectacular diversity with thousands of varieties in sizes from 2" pompon to 12" dinner plate, 20 forms, and all of the colors of the rainbow - except blue! The dahlia has something for everyone. It's a rare flower that will bloom continuously for several months late summer into fall.
