Dahlia imperialis?
We have two entirely different to look at Dahlias, both claiming to be D.
imperialis. 'Ours' grows to something like 10 or 12 feet. In the greenhouse it goes straight up and out through the roof, flowering at the very top with rather dull single flowered blooms. OTOH, we have a wonderful one, also called D. imperialis which David Hill, who used to post here, gave us from his Abacus Nurseries. It grows to about 8' and has wonderful deep pink double blooms in profusion. Anyone any idea whether one is a sport of the other or whether we have got two entirely different plants, one named incorrectly? I'm pretty sure 'our' D. imperialis is named properly because it's easily identified by photographs. The other is just like a normal Dahlia except in its height. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |
