Notes
'Alyshia' dahlia (Dahlia 'Alyshia') is a bulb with magenta-pink flowers tipped in yellow. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry soil. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to mid autumn. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Protect it from winter wet, or lift and store it in a cool, dry, frost free place.
Pairs well with Meadow sage, Shenandoah switchgrass, and Millenium ornamental onion.
