Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Blooming all summer with small pink, yellow-centered flowers, this is a classic small dahlia, reaching only 12 -18?? tall, a nice addition to a perennial border accent among shrubs. Bees love them. As with all dahlias, good drainage keeps them healthy in winter; and water keeps them blooming in summer. Best in full sun but tolerates some shade. No need to lift the tubers in USDA zone 8 with good drainage.
