Even the smallest varieties of dahlias can reach a height of 30 cm, making them one of the largest flower types. Dahlias come in a wide range of sizes. Flowers on the largest dahlias can have diameters ranging from five centimeters to thirty centimeters, and the plant itself can grow to a height of about two meters. The petals of the flowers are arranged in a disk-like pattern, much like a sunflower's, and there are many of them. Because the flowers are available in such a wide range of hues and patterns, they have earned a reputation for having striking coloration. The stalks of dahlias are woody and bendable, but they also provide some firmness. Around the month of July, these flowers will begin to bloom.
