Dahlias are some of the most beautiful flowers one can grow. At first, they might seem intimidating, but they are not much more difficult than other flowers in your garden.

Dahlias are a bushy, herbaceous plant native to Mexico, but that grow beautifully here in the U.S.. Produced by tubers (part of the root system) which were originally grown by the Aztecs as a food source similar to modern day tapioca or cassava, Dahlias also belong to the same family that includes flowers such as sunflowers, daisy, chrysanthemum, and zinnia.

Dahlias are annual plants in most regions and are normally sold as tubers for planting. While they can be grown from seed, the plants those seeds produce will not be the same as the parent. Each seed may produce a plant with similar traits, but each is genetically unique. Tubers, however, are clones of the parent plant and will resemble the plant they came from. Therefore, depending on how they are propagated, dahlias can range in so many various forms of beautiful color, size, and texture.

Established in 2015, Summer Dreams Farm is an American fresh cut flower farm specializing in Dahlias from August to September and dahlia tubers in the spring. Located in the quaint town of Oxford, Michigan an hour north of Detroit, Summer Dreams Farm offers over 210 varieties of Dahlias in every style, size, and color to help make your home, office, or event beautiful and memorable.
