For brilliant color from midsummer to frost, plant dahlias this spring. These garden divas save
their spectacular, over-the-top performance for late summer and early fall. Once you’ve grown
them, you’ll be hooked. Dahlias prefer full sun; they’ll also grow in partial shade. They are
perennial in Zones 8-10. In other Zones, dahlias are easily overwintered indoors (details will
accompany your order). Especially for our magazine readers, we created two unique collections
that are guaranteed to be head turners.
If you’re looking for a special
structure to create an
outdoor living room, try this
easy-to-use project plan. As
pretty as it is functional, this

measures about 8x8 feet.

drawings, full-size patterns,

by-step through the project.
