I wasn't even sure that I really wanted a dahlia when I picked up Art Deco on clearance for $1 in early June of 2008. The poor thing needed to be saved. Since then it has multiplied nicely and next year we will have enough to fill the top of our rock wall out front. It's quite short - about one and a half feet - and looks wonderful with yellow daisies. The blooms are 3-4" and the petals are pale orange on the top side and dark red on the bottom. The difference in colour from sun to shade is interesting.
Love this photo, it really shows the two colours. My `Art Deco` is budding up.
