Interesting facts about garden dahlias
Dahlias grow from underground tubers that store energy for new growth. Gardeners often remove fading flowers so the plant can direct more energy toward producing additional buds. Some varieties bear compact, rounded blooms, while others develop long petals that curl or point outward.
