This was my first year with dahlias and since its going to snow tomorrow - don't you think we should take a look back at a sunnier day? This was a bush dahlia Bluesette and Verbena bonariensis in giant pots on my deck.. Wow I didn't see till now how the light changed the color - they were really more blue. The sword shaped foliage is Acidanthera which was the center of the dahlia containers.

You have a lovely combination there! Did the verbena bloom most of the season?

That verbena was amazing - it never quit and I really didn't deadhead it. Both of them were still blooming when I cut them down last week. I threw some stalks in one of my beds so I'd get some seedlings next year.

Those pictures are so beautiful. I love the bluesette. I'm new to dahlias, but I have that one waiting to plant come spring.

Irish Rose - If you haven't bought Bluesette already stay in touch with me and lets see if they survive the winter - I should have more tubers than I know what to do with.
