Dazzling Dahlias

They can resemble peonies, water lilies, cactus flowers or orchids. With more than 50,000 variations in size, form and color and with blooms from June until frost, dahlias are a late-season gardener's best friend.

Big and colorful

The 'Kelvin Floodlight' is one of the larger dahlia blooms. Because there are so many variations, dahlias are placed into classifications based on 19 forms and 15 colors. Dahlia blooms can range in size from 1 to 17 inches across; the plant itself grows from 2 to 20 feet high.
