Hi,

New here but I want to talk about the beauty of growing dahlias in a container garden. Many folks do not have space enough for dahlias or can't spend a lot of time in their garden. This is were the dahlia comes in. Today there are many many low growing beautiful dahlias from 12"-26" in height that lend themselves to a container or border. Take this dahlia and make it the focus of your container and surround it with complementry plants. You will be thrilled with the results and so will your friends. The key to sucess is the THRILLER --FILLER--SPILLER system (not my idea but from Fine Gardening) Check out [HYPERLINK@www.containerdahlias.com] for other ideas.
