Mary Evelyn is a collarette dahlia with busy petals that seem to be blended from three different flowers. There's a deep red outer ring of petals, a bright white (and much smaller) interior ring, and a glowing yellow center. This dahlia first came from South Africa and has a small but showy flower. It looks outstanding bunched together in a bouquet and needs no other accompaniment.

    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Collarette) - Mary Evelyn

    Love these! Mine grew fast but bloomed very late and not very abundantly, BUT the wow factor of the collarette is so worth it. Will plant in a different location next season to see if that makes a difference in the number of blooms. Would buy again.

    Dahlia Tubers (Collarette) - Mary Evelyn

    These beauties were easy to grow and so lovely. They were my first dahlias to flower and are still giving me blooms now in Sept. I expect them to be amongst the last to bloom as well. These were at least 36" tall and had flowers as big as 5-6" across. Each of my 2 plants always had several flowers on it. So glad I picked this one up!

    Dahlia Tubers (Collarette) - Mary Evelyn

    Bought a clump along with Kelsey Anne Joy. On both clumps most tubers had broken necks but I managed to salvage a few of each with eyes. I was disgusted and threw the broken ones in the compost forgetting to take pictures
