Summer Dahlias: Juicy Sweet Berry Tones
These dahlias scream summer to me because they remind me of all the delicious berries available roaming the countryside! Ok- it’s more like shopping my local farmers market but a girl can dream can’t she?
Jabberbox- Oh she’s so good. The perfect magenta raspberry pink! I would really like to know the story behind her name though. You’d think she’d be something with raspberry or strawberry kiss or something like that! Strong stems, doesn’t mind the heat, steady bloomer.
Sweet Fabienne- she’s the perfect pink and sometimes gets laciniate petals which I love! Prolific and steady bloomer- has the same growth habit of Linda’s Baby.
Lynn Slight- Deep dark berry tones. This one is a good alternate if you don’t like Diva- although I’m not sure if anyone doesn’t like Diva. But she’s similar, a little smaller though. Also blooms a little earlier than Diva- that can be a nice quality.
Doodlebug- Gotta love the name. I like dahlias with fun names! This dahlia can be pinker red in a cooler year or red with some golden highlights if it’s hotter. Either way, it’s a perfect summer berry color!
