Works well in a mixed dahlia border.
i used this mid-height dahlia in a mixed dahlia border. It looks jolly with other dahlias. It would also look good in a pot - by itself. A welcome splash of colour in a fading summer.

Alauna Clair-obscur is a very freely flowering dahlia, with beautiful shape and colour. Looks lovely with a wide range of other dahlias in magentas, reds, pinks, purples, creams.
