Comprehensive guide for the dahlia lover submitted by mowjac on June 28, 2021, 8:29am What doesn't this book cover? Dahlias are intimidating to many gardeners because in many climates the tubers must be lifted, divided, and stored. Erin Benzakein's confident prose demystifies dahlias growing habitat, propagating dahlias from seed and cuttings, as well as lifting, dividing, and over wintering dahlias. The photographs are stunning. The whole end of the book is a veritable catalog of dahlias by color to help you plan your own dahlia garden.
