Pink Dahlia FlowersYou can get Dahlias that come close to these two colours - and are named accordingly - but they are not true colours. Actually, almost every colour under the sun has been covered - apart from black and blue. The Dahlia flowers of today originate from a relatively small genus of plants, with less than 40 species, which have been bred into tens of thousands of hybrids that offer a vast variety in flower sizes, colours and shape. There's many reasons for that - the main one being that you'll have to look long and hard to find plants that will pack a punch of colour, structure and delight that Dahlia Flowers will - and then they're easy to grow, even for the novice gardener.

Dahlia flowers have been grown by keen flower gardeners across the globe for centuries.
