While she's a terrific actress, many people associate her name with her colorful and bold beauty-just like the dahlia, the national flower of Mexico. The dahlia is a bushy plant that produces brightly colored flowers in the summer and fall. It is native to Mexico, but has traveled the world winning the hearts of gardeners with its large, bright blooms. In 1872, a box of dahlia roots traveled from Mexico to the Netherlands. Unfortunately, only one of the plants actually survived the trip, but that plant, which produced gorgeous red flowers with pointed petals, went on to produce all of today's dahlia hybrids as it was crossed with other dahlias that had been discovered earlier. The dahlia is available in several varieties that range greatly in size. They may be as small as one foot tall in height or as large as six feet tall. The dahlia's blooms range from a two-inch diameter to an enormous twelve-inch diameter. Colors include orange, pink, purple, red, scarlet, yellow, and white. Some are even striped petals or have petals tipped in a different color. Dahlias can be grown from tuberous roots or seeds, rooted from cuttings, or bought as a plant to be transplanted to your garden. The tuberous roots can be saved to produce beautiful flowers year after year. In fact, the roots can be separated to increase the number of plants grown. If you plan to divide your tuberous roots, you should do so before you plant them in the spring. Wait for the eyes in the roots to produce new growth, but be sure to divide them before that growth reaches more than an inch in length. Use a sharp knife to cut the roots, and be sure to leave at least one viable eye on each section. After cutting, let the new surfaces dry or cover them in sulfur before you plant them. When planting dahlias, choose an area that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily. Also, be sure the plants will be protected from high winds that could damage them. The water should be very fertile and have good drainage, as dahlias do not like to be soaked in water. If you're planting large roots, you can begin planting as early as two weeks before the last frost. However, if the roots are small, it's best to wait until after the last frost. With a little care, the vividly colored Mexican dahlia can give your garden some beauty and flair to rival that of fellow native-Mexican Salma Hayek. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wesley Berry is member of the American Academy of Floriculture (AAF) and President of Wesley Berry Flowers ( http://www.wesleyberryflowers.com ), a successful multi-million dollar floral business that was established in 1946.
