From dinner plate dahlias that carry huge blooms to round pompon and spikey cactus varieties, dahlias are blooming beautiful flowers that bring riots of colour to your garden at the height of summer through to late autumn. Loved widely amongst many gardeners, we think everyone should dedicate a dahlia to their outdoor space!
