Dahlias, originally from Mexico, were introduced to Europe at the end of the 18th century, because we thought we could eat their bulbs like potatoes, but the beauty of their summer bloom soon rivaled the mediocre taste offered by the roots, and Dahlias have adorned ornamental gardens ever since. After many years of cultivation and selection, the single flowers of wild species have evolved into very different forms: single, semi-double, double, with wide or tuyautéed petals, short or tapered, etc. Conservation: After the first frosts, when the plants are completely blackened by them, pull them out to store the bulbs in the cellar or garage, then put them back in the ground the following spring!
