My Last 2010 Dahlia - 'Yvonne'

Frost has hit my zone 3 garden and that means no more dahlia to introduce this year. This is 'Yvonne' blooming in my friend, Judy's, garden. She is a recommended cut flower with long stems. The plant grows to 4.5' with 4" waterlily form flowers described as salmon-pink. In Judy's garden she is more pink than salmon but because she bloomed so late, I wonder if that is an oddity of this year's weather.

  1. Yes, I really like her colour and I wasn't sure I would from the catalogue photo. She was a pleasant surprise.
