Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This ain’t your mother’s Dahlia! Long lived, NO STAKING & NO MILDEW, this species Dahlia from Mexico makes a 4’ - 5’ tall, very bushy, multi-branching plant. From late Spring thru Fall, it bears MASSES of 3” to 4”, perky, single flowers in a gorgeous array of oranges - from peach to bright orange. Some plants have bronzy foliage, too. Very EASY to grow, requiring little care other than cutting back in late Fall. A beautiful garden addition & excellent for cutting! I’ve had one in a large pot for 5 years & each year it gets better & better. Rich soil is best.
