Video – All About Dahlias (6 minutes)

Dahlias are members of the Daisy family and native to Central America. In the United States, they are hardy only in Zone 8 and warmer, so most gardeners must grow them as annuals. We start plants from tubers each year, and they grow quite quickly to reach peak bloom from August to September, a time when their colorful, diverse flowers put a fresh face on our display gardens. There are so many interesting flower forms and sizes that is it difficult to limit yourself once you start growing Dahlias.

In our video, you’ll see a number of forms head gardener Cheryl Karpeichik currently grows (decorative, informal decorative, dinner-plate, ball, cactus, anemone, and orchid) and learn about planting tubers, staking, and deadheading.
