Description
For years, dahlias have been dismissed for being garish, gaudy additions to gardens and arrangements, but when you find the right variety, it's hard to think of a better garden plant or more striking cut flower.
The next title in Pavilion's series of stylish floral gardening guides celebrates the diversity and return to fashion of the dahlia.
Dahlias explores the history of the dahlia from its Aztec origins and its highs and lows as a cultivated plant, to its current status as one of the most adored flowers on the planet. Pavilion's guide to over 60 beautiful varieties reveals their charms and assets, together with practical cultivation tips for any garden. Including classics like Café au Lait and Karma Choc, together with modern, dark-leaved stunners like the Mystic series, the varieties and forms range from perky pompons and lush dinner plates to those that resemble sea-anemones or spectacular fireworks!
With contemporary commentary on each bloom, easy-to-follow advice, and glorious photography, this book will appeal to everybody who appreciates the glamour and versatility of the dahlia.
