A very unusual Dahlia with tall wispy stems that are topped with small single mid pink, yellow centred flowers during the summer and autumn months. Supposedly hardy in all but the hardest winters (according to Beth Chatto - although we haven't tried it here) it is a lovely addition to the autumn garden. Prefers a sunny site in moderate garden soil. Height 1.m (3'). A very cute plant.
