As autumn sets in, a new wave of the Dahlia plant has become the super star plant in Zhongshan Park in central Beijing. The plant is native to the highlands of Mexico. It is not cold-resistant or afraid of heat. It grows and blossoms well in areas with cool summer climate and large temperature differences between day and night.
