Learning how to grow dahlias is rewarding for any gardener. One of the best blooms for cutting, there is a huge variety to choose from, including intricate, candy-coloured pom-poms, elegant single blooms that look similar to daisies, and double-bloomed cactus types in fiery shades.
With such a wide range on offer, dahlias are well-matched to all sorts of garden trends, whether you prefer a more relaxed style or a formal, modern look. Their dazzling display stretches from midsummer into autumn, and while they are gorgeous in borders, some varieties work well in pots.
