The size of the flowers can vary from 2 to 12 inches in diameter, and the plants themselves can range from dwarf varieties that grow to be 12 inches tall, to tall varieties that can reach up to 6 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dahlia plants have <strong>green leaves<\/strong>, usually divided into <strong>three <\/strong>or <strong>five leaflets<\/strong>, and they prefer full sun and well-draining soil. These plants are sensitive to frost and require protection in colder climates. Dahlias bloom from mid-summer to fall, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
