Casino Garden Club member Patricia White with the ABC's Garden Guru, Phil Dudman admire the dahlia display at the Garden Club's annual flower show and fair held in March this year.
Dahlias are very widely hybridised.
You can have then in almost any colour you want.
If you plant your first batch in late winter and another batch every month until Christmas you can have flowers from October to May.
The taller type need staking but there are smaller growers that are self supporting.
