Planting Dahlias: When, Where, and How Deep

Posted by Brent & Becky's Admin on Feb 18, 2019

While they may not be my favorite plants, dahlias are certainly pretty high on the list, right behind daffodils, lilies, and chamillias. They’re undeniably beautiful, they’re great for sharing, and they come in a rainbow of colors - of course, with the exception of blue, like tulips. They’re also fairly easy to care for, making them an excellent addition for any spring garden.

Red Hot Pokers

Kniphofias, commonly known as Red Hot Pokers or Torch Lilies, certainly live up to their name as one hot flower - flying off shelves faster than slices of hot apple pie. It’s no wonder, though - with plumes of bright, fiery hues of red, orange, and yellow, they almost seem as though they’re really torches set aflame in the garden. Plus, it’s not just our eyes that love them, they’re also a big hit with the hummingbirds, which are always welcome in our gardens!
