Notes

'Georges Swain' dahlia (Dahlia 'Georges Swain') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. The flowers are a vivid reddish purple and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It grows about 39 inches tall, so it fits well at the back of a bed.
