Love them!
Myrtles Folly is a lovely tall dahlia (4 to 5 feet for me) with enchanting, 6-inch-diameter blooms! I loved the mélange of gorgeous colors—displayed in sprays of whimsical petals. I planted Myrtles Folly in two spots in my yard. Despite a light infestation of Japanese beetles, they did quite well! My flower stems were a bit thin and floppy, but I think it was because they had only 4 to 5 hours of sunlight each day. And I forgot to fertilize. I can't wait to grow this one again. I am going to try to save the tubers over the winter and grow them in more sunlight.
