Advice for gardeners
Visitors can speak with specialists in dahlia cultivation and breeding, ask them questions and receive practical advice on plant care, overwintering and choosing varieties for their own gardens.
Dahlia collector Katrīna Kisnere noted that water-lily-type varieties, which resemble this flower, are popular. According to her, dahlias need care well in advance for lush autumn flowering: it is necessary to choose a suitable place, plant them on time, water them and care for them.
Dahlias are often called autumn flowers because they usually bloom when other summer plants are already beginning to fade.
