Dahlia recommendation
 

Hi everyone,
This year I tried growing a new (to me) Dahlia, called 'Chinese Lantern'.
It is performing gloriously! It is a large-flowered orange/yellow
bi-colour, which simply glows. I bought the tubers from Bloms(Spring 2004
cat., page 54); they give the height as 90cm. Mine reaches as least 120cm,
with flowers from 60cm-120cm, creating a beautiful tiered effect. I would
recommend it to any dahlia lover, and certainly to anyone building up a
'hot'-coloured flower border.

It certainly looks very striking. There's a small picure on the National
Dahlia web site (below) then click on 'small decotatives'
