There are 42 species of dahlia, with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants. Flower forms are variable, with one head per stem; these can be as small as 5 cm (2 in) diameter or up to 30 cm (1 ft) (dinner plate). This great variety results from dahlias being octoploidsâthat is, they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two.
