Patches dahlia- Wildly patterned, wonderfully playful, and full of garden mischief. Patches is a visual adventure in bloom form. Its large 8" formal decorative flowers are splashed, tipped, and sometimes perfectly painted in fuchsia-purple with crisp white—no two petals are exactly alike. Some blooms flaunt bold white tips, others wear full streaks or a delicate dusting, creating a “crazy quilt” effect that turns every flower into a surprise. At 4½' tall, the plant is strong and full, allowing these colorfully unpredictable blooms to shine against lush green foliage. Though not ideal for cutting, Patches more than makes up for it with garden drama and nonstop personality. If you're looking for a dahlia that refuses to be ordinary—this is the one.
