Dinnerplate-size blossoms with masses of brilliantly coloured petals will be the pride of your summer garden.
Dinnerplate dahlias are distinctive as backgrounds for borders and as decorative hedges. But they're also gorgeous for cut-flower arrangements. Each massive, long-lasting flower is a bouquet in itself. And the more you cut, the better the flowers bloom.
They're so easy to care for, too. After the flowering is done, just lift the clumps and store them for replanting the following spring. With a single investment, you'll have many years of Dutch beauty for your home and garden.
