Dahlia

With a blast of different colors, shapes and sizes, Dahlias bring life and beauty back to your landscape in late summer and into the fall months. The diversity of Dahlias allow you to use them in many different aspects of your landscape design, from low growing border plants to stately background plantings which may reach six feet in height.
Dahlias make excellent cut flowers, which typically last about a week in the house.
These tender tubers bloom best in full sun and will tolerate most soil types, but prefer a sandy, well draining soil with a pH of 6.2- 6.5. If you have a heavy clay soil, try adding sand or peat moss to lighten it.

Nobody sees a flower, really, it is so small. We haven't time - and to see takes time like to have a friend takes time.
