Organic Dahlia Tubers
Spanish Botanists discovered the Dahlia growing wild on the sandy hillsides of Mexico in the 16th century. They are quite rightly a very popular garden plant being available in a huge range of colours, heights and sizes. Dahlias do not produce scented flowers and attract pollinators by their bright colours. Tubers can be saved from year to year and give a very good return on your initial ‘investment’. The Dahlia is named after Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl. Dahl regarded it as a vegetable rather than a garden flower, but interest switched from the edible tubers to the blooms when the first varieties with large, double flowers were bred in Belgium in 1815.
