    DAHLIA

    All flower AUG-SEPT

    Genus of about 30 species (and some 20,000 cultivars predominantly derived from D. pinnata and D. coccinea) of bushy, usually tuberous-rooted perennials from mountainous areas of Mexico and Central America.

    Late-flowering so provide colour when other flowers are past their best.

    Single varieties attract insects.
