Nursery contributed plant descriptions

These saucy dahlias caught our eye, standouts in a sea of competitors. The perky yellow flowers, 4" in diameter, appear to have been rolled in red paint, tipping each petal with color. Sights of Summer prompts a smile even on the morning you have to give that big presentation. Plant with red Gallery Singer for a certifiably dynamic duo or with sun tolerant caladium Red Glamour for an edgier pairing. Matures to 20-24" tall.
