Nursery contributed plant descriptions

As elegant and wildflowery as the great 'Bishop of Llandaff', this sublimely simple collarette dahlia is named for Debussy's romantic ode to moonlight. With a single row of soft yellow outer petals, a frilly ruff of white inner petals, and an eye like a harvest moon, it's strong-growing in the garden and blissful in bouquets.
