Etymology

The word 'dahlia' originates from the name of the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl, who studied the flower family Asteraceae in the 18th century. The plant itself was first discovered in Mexico, where it was cultivated by the Aztecs, who utilized it for food and decorative purposes. The dahlia was introduced to Europe in the late 18th century, and by the mid-19th century, its cultivation had spread widely, leading to the development of numerous hybrids and varieties. Today, dahlias are celebrated in gardening for their wide array of colors and forms and are a favorite among gardeners and florists alike.
