Plants and Beyond for
hard to find Flowering BulbsDahlia
is a genus of bushy, summer- and autumn-flowering, tuberous perennial plants
native to Mexico, where they are the national flower. The Aztecs gathered and
cultivated the dahlia for food, ceremony as well as decorative purposes
[1], and the long woody stem of one
variety was used for small pipes.
In 1872 a box of
Dahlia roots were sent from Mexico to the Netherlands. Only one plant survived
the trip, but produced spectacular red flowers with pointed petals. Nurserymen
in Europe bred from this plant, which was named Dahlia juarezii with
parents of Dahlias discovered earlier and these are the progenitors of all
modern Dahlia hybrids. Ever since, plant breeders have been actively breeding
Dahlias to produce thousands of cultivars, usually chosen for their stunning and
brightly coloured flowers
