Exotic Dahlias Bloom in UK's Jurassic Coast
•
Unseasonably warm weather along Britains Jurassic Coast has triggered an early bloom of exotic tree dahlias, Dahlia imperialis, at Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens in Dorset. These central American plants, typically flowering too late in the fall to avoid early frosts, are now reaching heights of eight feet with their pink cup-shaped flowers. The balmy temps, reaching up to fifty-nine degrees Fahrenheit, have created perfect conditions for this rare pre-holiday show. This phenomenon, along with the first flowering of Puya alpestris from Chiles Andes in five years, highlights how milder winters are allowing tropical plants to thrive in unexpected British spots, reshaping gardens one flower at a time.
