Notes
'Andrea Lawson' dahlia (Dahlia 'Andrea Lawson') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows about 35 to 47 inches tall and blooms from early to late summer and again in autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers. Keep it away from dogs and cats, since it is toxic to both.
Pairs well with Blue Fortune Bill Williams Mountain giant hyssop, Purple top, Dense blazing star, and Black-eyed Susan.
