FORCE TUBERS OF DAHLIAS FOR EARLY CUTTINGS
The flamboyant dahlia is a native of Mexico and Central America and you can come across a few wild species (usually Dahlia coccinea, D. imperialis or D. merckii) in botanic gardens. Generally tall, with single flower heads, they can be tricky to flower but are eye-catching and full of character. Their natural habitat is upland or mountainous, in sunny clearings among sparse woodland alongside pines, oaks and arbutus (strawberry tree) where they can expect air but not ground frosts. Seeds reached Europe in 1789 and plants were originally grown for their edible tubers which failed to find favour. Gradually, as their potential as flowering plants was realised, they were shared around notable European gardens and breeding gave rise to the wide range we have today.
