Re: Dahlia imperialis

Thanks, Ceres. Maybe it will do here, then. Plant Delights asks $15.00 per, so VB is the better price. Just bought a nice pot for the Solandra, so I'll get that re-potted today.

Plant Delights says zones 7-9, which seems to X me out, too, although I
might try it one of these years. But it also says it doesn't bloom for

VB lists this as zone 8-10 but that is the rating for all the dahlias and
they do bloom. This is listed as 20-29' and bloom time Aug-frost which is the
bloom time for their other dahlias. Is the foliage tropical looking or
especially interesting? BTW, the price this year was 11.95, 2 for $23 or 4 for
$42.
