Bright red flowers with dark-colored stems.

We first came across this new series of dahlias while visiting the Verwer Brothers a few years ago in their trial gardens. They were developed for the cut-flower market in Holland because of their extraordinarily strong stems and almost iridescent colors. You will have to see them for yourself to truly see what we are talking about. 5 1/2" flowers.

Stunning Color

Submitted 1 year ago

From Twin Cities, MN

A color outside what I am usually drawn to but I loved it. I had it in less than ideal location but it thrived just the same. Grew it specifically for cutting and it did great in the vase. Nice head tilt on it makes it work well in arrangements.

Had a late start getting tubers in the ground but these dahlias didn't seem to mind at all. They are still blooming with night temperatures in the 40's.
