Common name: Single Flowered Dahlia
Botanical name: Dahlia coccinea Family: Asteraceae (Sunflower family)
Single dahlias have blooms with a single outer ring of florets, which may
overlap, the centre forming a disc.
Dahlia coccinea is a species of dahlia, refined and very unlike what is mostly
found in gardens nowadays. Dahlias are native from Mexico into Columbia and
were hybridized by the Aztecs, so this plant has been popular for a long time.
