Whether you are a serious grower or just need some extra flowers for your garden this is a great book.Dahlias are generaly easy to grow, but can be tricky to grow well.It contains a lot of info on the history, culture, habit,propagation and care. It is relevent to both northern and southern hemispheres as it has a season converter and is in metric and imperial.The photos are sharp and clear and cover everything from petal shapes to full heads.This is a great general reference book.

I am brand new to the Dahlia world and bought this book as a primer. I had done some research online and everything I found online was nicely condensed in this book. It teaches you the basics such as planting and care plus teaches you all of the 'codes' for sizes, colors, forms, etc. It really is very helpful to someone who knows little about dahlias. Plus, the pictures are beautiful and nicely identifies the plant form, so you can learn some of the various types.

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK ON DAHLIAS, MY FAVORITE FLOWER. SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY DAHLIA VARIETIES IT IS HARD TO GET THEM ALL IN ONE BOOK BUT THIS BOOK GIVES IT A GOOD SHOT. THE PICTURES ARE BIG AND BEAUTIFUL AND THE CULTIVATION RECOMMENDATIONS ARE SPOT ON. GREAT BOOK IF YOU LOVE THIS FLOWER.

Decisamente buono questo libro sulle dalie, anche se effettivamente è -come dire- merce corrente. Nel senso che manuali come questo, specie in USA e UK, ce ne sono a dozzialiardi. Magari da un manuale si vorrebbe qualcosa di più, oltre alle notazioni storiche pur curate, ad una buona raccolta di cultivar (le dalie sono un logaritmo che tende ad infinito), una buona impaginazione e una gradevolezza dell'insieme. Ricapitolando: un buon manuale ma da non spenderci più di 20 euro, ma niente di cui innamorarsi.

I needed a book that had more basic information not so much the area about botony.
