Notes
'Twyning's Smartie' dahlia (Dahlia 'Twyning's Smartie') is a bulb with cupped magenta and white petals around golden orange centers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry soil. Every flower looks different, and bees visit the blooms. Deer tend to pass it by. M. Twyning bred it.
Pairs well with Shenandoah switchgrass, Lime Zinger sedum, and Miss Molly orange ball tree.
