Dahlia 'Verdi Glory'
- A dahlia worthy of a dedicated aria or two, we reckon this variety is certainly one that would impress ol' Giuseppe
- The fully double dinnerplate blooms consist of alluring burgundy petals flared with linen white tips. Set against the backdrop of contrasting deep green foliage, these flowers leave a lasting impression
- Makes an incredibly impressive cut flower bouquet!
- Plant alongside similarly-coloured osteospermums, echinaceas and salvias for a stunning garden display
- With its large, heavy flowers, this variety can be susceptible to flopping so some staking might be necessary if you notice the stalks struggling under the weight of the blooms
