    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of our biggest dahlias, summery 'Surprise' offers 8-10 inches of informal, incurving, semi-cactus petals of soft, luminous peach, yellow, and rose that almost seem to wriggle in delight. Although a bit of a late bloomer, it's always worth the wait.
