Dahlias, big time. These fiery red flowers really are the size of dinner plates (8-10"); the largest dahlia we've met. The flower's red petals with tints of yellow, have a pleasantly tousled look, as if the bloom just got out of bed. Mixes well with other plants. Fewer flowers say ¡°summer" like the bold blooms of dahlias. Use the border types to add height and color to gardens in late summer to fall. Dahlias also make great cut flowers.
