Ever since I had the space to grow even just a few plants outdoors It has been dahlias. I never could have imagined when I bought those first few clumps of ugly potato-looking tubers that no other flower could touch the dahlia’s place in my heart. The first variety I grew was nothing fancy, but dahlias quickly became my favorite flowers. The blooms were luscious, generous, and ethereal.

Ruthie G is a waterlily form historical dahlia in a shade of hot pink that makes it a garden pop star. A definite must grow for cut flowers and in the garden.
