Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This 120-year-old granddaddy is a pompon-like "fancy" dahlia of deep burgundy-red irregularly splashed with bits of white - like a sparkling garnet brooch or maybe a tiny, antique velvet sofa with lacy antimacassars. Reintroduced by us from the British National Collection of Dahlias.
