Dahlia imperialis may
be the biggest fastest perennials you will ever grow. The Tree
Dahlia can grow to 12-16 feet tall. The canes are the size of timber
bamboo and kind of look like it too. Dahlia imperialis blooms in the
late Fall and into January. Even a moderate frost will singe off the
flowers so this beauty needs to be planted in a near frost free
location. Dahlia imperialis is native to Mexico. The tree
dahlia can be found with single pink flowers, white flowers and double
flowers of each color. I try to plant Dahlia imperialis in a full
sun location, preferably on a South exposure.
High resolution images of
Dahlia imperialis are available.
