Another Collarette - Dahlia 'April Heather'

'April Heather' is an apricot-pink collarette with a pale yellow collar. She is very dainty and quite pretty in the garden. The plant grows to 4' with 4" flowers. Due to the late planting, she did not put a big display on for me this year. We have frost forecast for tonight in my garden so this will likely be the only shot I get of her single bloom. All of the many buds remaining will wither on the stalks with frost. Next year, I will be planting her in the new front bed, much closer to the house.
