Dahlias, with their stunning blooms and variety of forms, originate from the high elevations of Mexico and Central America. These flowers, which belong to the Asteraceae family, were first cultivated by the Aztecs before being introduced to Europe, where they gained popularity in gardens and the floral industry. Cultivation of dahlias involves planting the tuberous roots after the threat of frost has passed, ensuring they are placed in well-drained soil with access to full sun. With proper care, dahlias will bloom from midsummer until the first autumn frost, offering a prolonged display of vibrant colors. Cheers
