Love this dahlia
"I love this dahlia! Its appearance is very different from the advertising picture, however. In reality, this dahlia is not such a round, ball shape or such dark, intense orange. Prince of Orange really looks more like a sunburst with somewhat darker center and fading to lighter orange towards the outside. The coloring is blended like brushstrokes. Strong long stems good for cutting. Long vase life. This variety is less susceptible to overwatering damage in my well-drained soil than Bacardi dahlia. Blooming did not start until mid September. I will try to start them indoors earlier in the season. No disease, very healthy. 1/3 tubers was not viable on arrival, but 2 tubers was enough for me."
