Dahlia flowers come in many stunning forms in almost every color but blue. The Gardner Museum’s Dahlia collection boasts shades from warm apricot to velvety deep burgundy. Gardner horticulturists store the Dahlia’s tuberous roots in a cool, dry potting room over winter to give the plant its preferred period of dormancy.
