The color purple seems to have a spell on us. We just cannot get enough! Enter Frank Holmes Dahlia with its intoxicating shade of lilac, and we are perfectly smitten. Sweet, diminutive one and a half inch blooms in the delectable pompon shape are just begging to be cut and brought indoors. And what wonderful vase flowers dahlias make! Expect a generous flowering season with blooms midsummer through October.
