For customers that prefer something a little more daring in their garden space, suggest China Town. This unusual and exquisitely showy cactus dahlia deftly combines a remarkable form with bold color, resulting in a unique, 5" wide spiderlike bloom that is truly one of a kind. Thin, elongated red petals are punctuated with shorter ivory-white petals, creating a dynamite display that sizzles in sunny perennial borders and mixed cutting gardens. China Town boasts an extended bloom time, reliably flowering from July until September. Like other dahlias, cactus types are very quick and easy to grow. Lift in fall in zones 3-8.
