The Plant Lover's Guide to Dahlias (The Plant Lover’s Guides) Hardcover – April 22, 2014

Checked out this book at library before purchasing, so knew what to expect. Delivery with Amazon FAST. Visual varieties photos why I purchased. Purchased another Dahlia book more about propagation and seeding so this book worked well with visual of germinating original variety options.

the plant lover's guide to Dahlias is every thing I hoped it would be. It is full of information Planting, caring for, winter protection if you are in northern zones. A big plus is the hundreds of pictures of dahlias and their names so the reader can find the plants they would like. Further there is an index concerning who to write for further info and to order from, plus and where to find Dahlias farms.

Especially appreciated the explanation of the complex genetics of these beautiful flowers.

The book gives a nice overview on dahlias. They are grouped not by flower shape(cactus, pompon, anemone, etc.) but by color. It makes easier to spot one particular dahlia. If you only have the name you can search in the index at the end of the book. Nice! The writings are good and motivational. They make you wish to have them all. Pictures are very good.

Great book given to my husband as a birthday gift. He loves it and finds it very informative, educational and is accompanied by wonderful pictures. A great purchase. A very good book on dahlias.

This book was disappointing. We love Dahlias and this was the only book we could find with photographs. It was bought as a gift and we will keep it, but not happy with it.

I had a crush on dahlias until I purchased this book...now it is a full blown love affair! Very readable, educational and beautiful photos. Wonderful addition to my gardening book collection.
