Dahlia 'French Cancan'
- Good for Cutting
- Loved by Pollinators
Maybe this colour would go well on a Cancan dancer, but it looks to me a little more Tahitian sunset, softly glowing in low light. Every petal with a deep pink-crimson reverse.
All dahlia flowers are edible, scatter their petals on salads for flavour, texture and colour.
