- Within the dahlia group as a whole, the cactus dahlias have the most exceptional flowers. They have beautiful ‘spiny’ petals that are rolled up along more than two-thirds of their length. Sometimes, the petals are straight from the base to the tip, but they can also curve inward or outward. The petals are often narrow and pointed, and some have deeply incised tips. These are the ones known as spider dahlias, and they make real eye-catchers! The petals are not top-heavy because they contain little water. This means that dahlias remain standing up nice and straight even when it rains.
- These summer flowering bulbs can be planted when the last risk of frost is over. Plant in a sunny location in the garden, for the best flowering results. Store in a cool and dry place until planting.
