Dahlia is a genus of
bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial plants native mainly in Mexico, but also
Central America, and Colombia. The stems are leafy, ranging in height from as
low as 12 in to more than
6–8 ft. The majority of species do not produce scented flowers or cultivars.
Like most plants that do not attract pollinating insects through scent, they
are brightly colored, displaying most hues, with the exception of blue. Source
