Outta Da Blue

15 years ago

I wasn't thrilled with this one last year so I didn't put it into my formal gardens, but I did plant a couple in my roadside gardens and they've finally bloomed.

Swan Island Dahlias call this as close to "blue" as any Dahlia they grow...must be referring to the closed centers.
