Dahlias
Dahlias grow magnificent, large, bushy blooms that come in nearly every color of the rainbow. “There is truly one for every garden,” says Peggy Anne Montgomery, a horticulturalist with flowerbulbs.com. “It’s no wonder they are the darlings of Instagram when they bloom from mid-summer to fall.”
Most dahlias need staking to hold their large, heavy blooms upright, but the butterflies they attract are well worth the tradeoff. They are also great for flower arrangements, but don’t cut them in bud, as they won’t open after cutting.
How to Plant and Grow Dahlias
Plant after the last frost, in full sun to light shade. Sow 4 to 6 inches deep and 18 to 24 inches apart in well-draining, rich soil. Dahlias grow in zones 8 to 11 as perennials and Zones 3 to 8 as annuals (or dig up and store tubers inside over winter).
