Now selling dahlia plants:  consider them even if you’ve never done them:  3-6 feet tall, amazing, gorgeous colorful blooms that start in August, continue until frost takes them down. 

Cut flowers will be available in August. 

Once dahlias get started — which they will be if you buy plants — they are pretty easy and tolerant creatures. Japanese beetles sometimes like hiding in some blooms, but they are selective, it seems. Other than that, these will fill your garden with color and beauty from late July or early August until the frost takes them down. Of course, the actual size of the plants and blooms depends on local conditions.
