Description
Dahlias is a delightful celebration of the dahlia, described as a "very smart love letter to cultivating beauty" by the Seattle Times. This charming book features over 60 vintage-inspired, full-colour botanical illustrations.
"Next time you are lucky enough to be someone's houseguest, consider arriving with a bouquet of either one of the Little Book of Flowers."
Dahlias are the showboats of the flower world—colourful, flamboyant, and spectacular. They are one of the most satisfying flowers to grow due to their long season, plentiful blooms, and adaptability to most climates with proper care. They are easy to propagate and can be hybridised, with numerous flower forms and more than 50,000 recognised cultivars.
This charming little hardcover book includes:
- 60+ full-colour botanical illustrations
- Basic botany and history
- Everything you need to know to grow gorgeous blooms in the garden, including dividing tubers to propagate more flowers
- Tips for creating beautiful arrangements and preserving flowers
- Quotes, lore, and notable gardens and growers
Like a bouquet of dahlias, this book is an affordable little luxury for gardeners and flower lovers—it makes the perfect hostess gift or Mother's Day present. It's part of the collectible mini gift book series Little Book of Natural Wonders.
