Description
(36-48" tall x 24” wide) The twisted, multi-hued petals of Myrtle’s Folly Dahlia are sure to mesmerize visitors to your garden. It holds its pom-pom-esque blooms strongly on 4 ft. stems, allowing it to mingle in the mid-border and make a statement at the same time. Grow this cheerleader in a full sun site with protection from high winds or stake lightly in more exposed locations. Like all dahlias, too much moisture can rot out the tubers, so a moisture retentive soil that drains well is preferred. Myrtle’s Folly Dahlia can benefit from light pinching at the growing points early in the season. Later in summer as the flowers fade, you’ll be rewarded for diligently deadheading with more blossoms for vase and garden. For gardeners living in cooler climates (Zone 8 and colder), the vigorous tubers can be lifted and stored in a cool, frost-free location over the winter for even more blooms next year. A truly glorious cultivar.

1 of 3 grew - the 1 is beautiful
"3 Stars because only 1 of 3 grew. However, the 1 that grew is beautiful! It has given me 4 blooms this year, each over 10 inches (dinner plates don't give as many blooms because of their size). I'm just disappointed that the other two did not even sprout! Dahlia tubers are expensive to begin with, so I expect all three tubers to grow."
I'm not sure what this is but it very lovely!
"I wasn't going to write a review for this product, my feelings are mixed. I was sent a replacement, AND later a refund for this product. This was my most anticipated purchase for the year, a dahlia named after my Grandmother, who was the Dahlia Queen! She would have hated it's non decorative form, but I like it. I was sad, because I had a special place of honor for two of the three tubers, but only one was viable, they sent a replacement and NONE were viable, every single tuber, and there were MANY, had a broken neck and all were blind. I'm writing because my one Original tuber is starting to bloom, it is giant and lovely, well formed, productive, deep purple/red, but it is not Myrtle's Folly. The irony is that my Grandmother would have LOVED this flower I have no idea what it is but I named it Sweet Myrtle."
