Interesting Plant: Dahlia ‘Clair de Lune’
Discovered via Pinterest User, Jennifer Showman
This Dahlia is so pretty you could almost lick it! (LAUGH) I love the double-petals, one inside the other and the large center, almost like a lemon daisy. I don’t have much experience with Dahlia, but this one struck me as being less “fussy” and less “heavy” than other Dahlia I have seen. That, combined with its light, pastel, color could make it a showpiece in any garden.
