Red Dahlias

There are many red dahlias in the Island Bed. They put on a great show in summer, contrasting with the frothy white Gypsophila and the feathery Toe Toe plumes.

I leave the dahlia tubers in the ground over winter, and never ever remember to stake the plants when they are growing in late spring.

I love these plain red dahlias. They are a much loved part of the Moosey garden original plantings.
