Dahlia Decorative - 'Creme de Cognac'
Creamy coffee and wine, or golden yellow and deep burgandy- it was fascinating to see the bloom transition based on the temperatures. Another cultivar that has a beautiful dark reverse and matching picotee petals. Beautiful for rustic palettes.
Creme de Cognac pumped out the blooms all season long. As a smaller plant, to get a good stem length, it took a lot of deep cutting. Even the shorter stems had significant value and was able to be used in a lot of arrangement work.
