Description
A must-have upper-storey drumstick or 'buttonhole' dahlia with a superb vase life. I picked this out from a huge trial field in Holland last autumn.
All dahlia flowers are edible, scatter their petals on salads for flavour, texture and colour.
Care Tips
Support with a stout stick, tie in every couple of weeks. In the south you can mulch deeply and overwinter them in the ground, alternatively, lift and overwinter your dahlias frost free undercover.
