The Dahlia Society of Tasmania
“Growing, sharing, and celebrating dahlias across Tasmania”
Tasmania has the ideal climate for growing dahlias and is home to many very well known and highly respected dahlia breeders. Many of their cultivars are highly sought after and prized blooms and continue to be admired in gardens and on show benches around Australia.
Formby Dahlias – George Harding.
Devon Dahlias – Charlie Smith.
Kiara Dahlias -John Young.
The Dahlia Society of Tasmania connects, supports, and inspires all who love dahlias. We are a welcoming community where all growers – from new backyard gardeners to exhibitors — can share knowledge, preserve Tasmania’s dahlia heritage, and celebrate the joy of growing, showing, and enjoying dahlias together.
