Fun Dahlia Facts:
• Dahlias are relatives of sunflowers, daisies, chrysanthemums, and zinnias—no wonder I often mix them up with my zinnias!
• These plants prefer to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to wilting or root rot.
• Slugs and snails adore dahlias—maybe a little too much!
• Deadheading (removing spent blooms) encourages more flowers—so don’t be shy, cut and enjoy!
• In colder climates, tubers must be dug up and stored over winter in a cool, dry, dark place until spring.
My Dahlia Story:
Truthfully, I may never grow a dahlia myself. I’m what you might call a lazy gardener—I don’t mind planting or weeding, but overwintering, thinning, and mulching? Not for me. Instead, I’ll enjoy these gorgeous blooms through bouquets and by hanging their beauty on my walls in paint and paper. This piece is my tribute to the show-stopping elegance of dahlias—without the digging!
