Soul Man Dahlia
Anemone blooms are over looked and under appreciated as a dahlia form. We love the character they bring to the garden and to a bouquet. Soul Man dahlias were added to our farm when our precocious daughter made friends at our local tuber swap. She wheeled and dealed, trading some of our tubers for varieties she liked. She hit the jackpot with this cultivar, as it makes loads of flowers on a 3.5 foot tall plant. They stay pretty stable in the vase.
