Ferncliff copper

The Ferncliff Copper dahlia is an exceptionally beautiful and versatile variety introduced by David Jack in 1990. Celebrated for its unique, artistically "brushed-on" coloring and robust stems, it is a highly awarded exhibition dahlia that is equally prized as a "must-grow" for floral designers.
