Dahlia 'Tartan'
- Good for Cutting
Tartan is my plea for the vulgar - it brings jollity and naughtiness amongst the oh-so-tasteful coffees and greys.
Remember, with cut flowers, they are there to decorate your table for a few splendid days, not years. I'm not asking you to paint your house in these stripes but with some cut flowers, it's good to go for it
