Dahlias, the cutting garden's crown.
Tender tubers grown for spectacular late-summer flowers - the giant dinnerplate Cafe au Lait, the dark-leaved Bishop of Llandaff, pompons and cactus forms. Lifted and stored over winter in cold zones. Sorted by difficulty, with bloom time and how to overwinter. There are 12 in the catalog.
Keep away from pets. Mildly toxic to cats and dogs. Dahlias can cause mild gastrointestinal upset if eaten, and the sap may mildly irritate skin - not a severe hazard, but keep pets from grazing them.
