Dragonberry Dahlia
Dahlia 'Dragonberry' was introduced in 2014 and grows to 4 feet tall. Strong terminal and lateral branches produce blooms of semi-cactus form in a bold fuchia and orange blend that is striking. Dragonberry, like other Dahlias is not hardy in the Chicago area, and should be lifted and stored over winter after the first frost has knocked the foliage back. Plant in spring when danger of frost is past.
