    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Karma Choc' has burgundy to black stems, burgundy-infused foliage and chocolate-burgundy-red flowers. Smashing! Luscious! Good enough to eat! (But don't eat it. Just ogle it with your eyes!) Dahlias are hardy to the winter temperatures of coastal BC but not to the winter wet. Grow outside in locations that are dry in winter or lift and store in a cool, dry location indoors like everyone else does.
