nice collection of dahlias with bronze foliage.

| The name of this series is perhaps somewhat misleading. Although this is a type of dahlia that looks like the dahlias we know from descriptions and books of long ago, the collection itself is really brand-new. When breeding them, one of the main criteria was to develop dahlias with a nostalgic look, dark leaves and a perfect harmony between the deeply coloured centres of the flowers and the darker foliage of the plant. The series now consists of about six or seven refreshing, natural-looking colours with the intention of having them planted in a sunny spot in the border of the romantic garden against the foliage of such plants as conifers or grey-leafed annual or perennial plants. |
