my true love, Sno Ho Doris

What a terrible name for such a beautiful Dahlia! Sno Ho Doris embodies every wonderful trait you can hope for. She's healthy, extremely productive,has tall strong stems and is the loveliest shade of peachy pink that everyone swoons over. If you have the space surely give this beauty a prominent spot in your garden :)
Here in the states tubers can be found at Dan's Dahlias.

    Erin, I need help. Am in the process of ordering dahlias for next year, and was thinking of ordering from Swan Island Dahlias. Their site is gorgeous, but am hesitant to spend lots o'dollars with an unknown (to me) entity. Do you have any experience with them? I shall check Dan's tho. Thanks.

    webb i purchased many of my tubers from swan island. they do an excellent job! they also offer wholesale pricing for growers.min order is $250 and you must get a min. of 10 per variety. that is the way i go on most since i need large amounts and love the discount.

    I am getting ready to order dahlias for next year too - oh my the endless choices. I had good luck with Swan Island last year too. It's great to get a wholesale price. I have been looking for Cafe Au Lait and some of the other varieties you mentioned in your GFM article last year (robin hood, fatma) but haven't found them. Any suggestions?
    It is amazing the variability in dahlias. Some I loved for cutting and others I hated. Its great to have recommendations before investing! Thanks for all your help as always.

    I just asked for these dahlias today, my boss asked me the name and I said I don't know, the beautiful pink ones.

    Never would have guessed.
