Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Glowing with ginormous 4-5" peachy rose-tipped blooms with centers that fade to yummy lemon meringue yellow, 'Softie" is a show stopper. Blooms float effortlessly on multi-branched stems above attractive deep green foliage. Super easy, needing no staking & mildew free, it blooms like crazy for months in Summer. Each year, this Dahlia gets stronger & stronger, growing to? 4' tall & 3' wide by the second year. Goes deciduous in Winter. In early Spring, top-dress with a couple inches of compost & stand back! Bees are big fans, too!
