***In recognition of my grandma’s ongoing battle with memory loss, $5 from the sale of each tuber will be donated to Alzheimer’s research, supporting hope and progress for families everywhere*** Bursting with layers of lush petals, this dark coral dahlia is a showstopper in any garden or bouquet. Each bloom features a warm, glowing hint of apricot at the center, adding depth and a sunlit touch to its rich tones. With its abundant petals and rounded shape, it creates a luxurious, full-bodied presence that draws the eye and captivates the senses. Ideal for striking arrangements, wedding bouquets, or autumn displays, this dahlia brings warmth, energy, and vibrant beauty wherever it blooms. We named this dahlia after my grandmother who is turning 97 this year because her quiet glow that reminds me of my grandma’s warmth. There’s a gentle strength about her, steady and kind. Soft in spirit, yet quietly resilient. She’s been loved by so many of her students over the years. Ask any of them, and I’m sure she’d be remembered as one of their favorite elementary school teachers. I hope to honor her by naming Roe Lydia safter her.
