Dahlias: History and Care: Websites

Promoting and supporting the growing, showing, and enjoyment of dahlias in North America.

The Greater Philadelphia Dahlia Society was formed in 1948 and continues promoting its members' favorite flower. Throughout its history, the GPDS has been the "home" of several extremely dedicated and knowledgeable dahlia growers. As the GPDS enters the new year, we wish everyone a productive and satisfying relationship with the "flower of flowers."

This website contains information for use in the class Dahlias in Plant Genetics, Biology 137, as well as information for people who enjoy the beauty of dahlias in general.

In this video, Barbara Pierson, of White Flower Farm in Litchfield, Connecticut, demonstrates the best way to dig, divide, and store your dahlia tubers for winter to ensure that you will enjoy their fabulous blooms year after year.
