Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Myrtle's Folly' produces very fuzzy looking blooms owing to the irregularly shaped petals in shades of fuchsia, pink, and orange. Kind of looks like a bicoloured dahlia stuck its finger in the electrical socket! Lots of fun. Dahlias are hardy to the winter temperatures of coastal BC but not to the winter wet. Grow outside in locations that are dry in winter or lift and store in a cool, dry location indoors like everyone else does.
