For centuries dahlias have been a beloved garden plant throughout Europe and North America.
With over 50000 different dahlia varieties that bloom from spring to frost there is a perfect dahlia for every garden style even the vegetable and herb garden. Formal Dahlia history begins in the late 18th century in Spain where Antonio Jose Cavanilles gave the genus its Latin name in commemoration of Andreas Dahl a Swedish botanist. Dahlias soon spread across Europe and from Mexico to the United States during which time they became an immensely popular garden flower worldwide. Soon after her death she was given the title of Black Dahlia by the investigators due to unknown reasons.
