Tatiana's Tips

We received our first tuber as a gift with purchase from Butt’s Berry Farm and could barely keep up with the deadheading – this is a non-stop producer! I loved long and strong stems topped with raspberry hues, it’s a lovely filler dahlia that can pull an arrangement of corals and apricots together. Reliable, disease-resistant, long-lasting in the border and a vase. Fades to true antique bronze. Perfect for beginners and small space growers!
