THE THEME OF THE 2024 DAHLIA FESTIVAL WILL BE "COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD".

Every year, from July to the end of October, the quays of Morges bloom during
the Dahlia Festival. Since 1996, more than 2,200 flowers and about 100 varieties
of dahlias embellish 1km of quays. It was an exhibition-sale: you could visit
our sales site in partnership with SamenMauser. www.flowerbulbs.ch to order your
favourite tubers (delivery in spring 2024); or you could buy the Morges tubers
of your choice on 4 and 5 November 2023.
This magnificent festival is organised by the Morges Fleur du Léman association,
which also organises the Tulip Festivalevery year from April to mid-May.

The new programme for the 2024 Dahlia Festival will arrive a few weeks before
July.
We look forward to seeing you at the Tulip Festival on 29 March 2024.

The Association Morges Fleur du Léman would like to thank its sponsors for their
support during the 2023 edition, without which its realisation would not have
been possible.

HISTORY OF THE FESTIVAL

SINCE 1996, THE QUAYS OF MORGES, BETWEEN THE TEMPLE AND THE PARC DE VERTOU, HAVE
BEEN BLOOMING WITH THOUSANDS OF DAHLIAS

The tuberous roots are bought by the association, the city employees plant them,
then the volunteers take care of the maintenance of the beds.

Provenance of the Dahlia
The Dahlia originated in Mexico and Central America where it was called Acocotli
and Chichipatli. It was named after André Dahl, a Swedish botanist who lived
from 1751 to 1789 and to whom the plant was dedicated.
Abbot Cavanilles was the first to receive this type of plant in Europe in 1788
in Madrid. After some time, he sent some specimens to the Jardin des plantes in
Paris.
The interest that this plant aroused was initially culinary, as it was thought
to be used as a substitute for potatoes. It soon became clear that the tubers
were too pungent to be eaten.
The breeds as well as the innumerable varieties that we can admire in the
gardens are derived from Dahlias coccinea, merki and variabilis.
In Morges, the public has the pleasure of being able to contemplate 73 varieties
of all heights, shapes and colours.

Arrived in Morges
It was in 1996 that the Morges florist Ernest Lüthi decided to bring together
various partners and launch the idea of an exhibition of dahlias on the Quai
Igor Stravinsky. Since then, this event has attracted both professionals who can
come and discover the technical aspects of the different varieties and the
general public who can come and admire their beauty.

Planting of the Dahlia
The tuberous roots are planted in the ground from mid-April and the plants are
planted from the end of May. As soon as the plants are planted, care should be
taken to pinch them, remove dead flowers and tie them up. Routine care such as
spraying, weeding and watering should be given special attention.
