snowbound

'Snowbound' is the only one of the four dahlias that I bought from Dan's Dahlias that has survived to bloom. The dahlia that I grew last year, was so easy and prolific, that I assumed that the new ones would be as well, but they struggled, and grew very slowly and sluggishly. Two finally died outright. A third is still struggling. 'Snowbound' seems to have made it though. Maybe I bought them too late. Or planted them too late. Or they were in too hot of an area. I'm not blaming the company I bought them from. But I might try another company next time, just to see.
