Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Deep wine red and white - a powerful contrasting combination fit for the Royals. What really elevates the personality for this dahlia however, are the subtle curls and twists at the end of each petal. Stems are long, sturdy and numerous - you'll want to stake for support. Cut blooms regularly to encourage ongoing bud formation and enjoy blooms right up 'til frost.
