THE ''CANDY CANE'' IS INDEED MOST IMPRESSIVE. I LOVE DAHLIAS! THEY GROW BIG & HEALTHY WITH LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL BIG FLOWERS THAT COME IN MANY SHADES. THE 1ST TIME I PLANTED THEM, I HAD TO DO SOME MOVING. THEY LIKE TO HAVE ROOM TO MOVE. THIS YEAR, I PLANTED A BULB TO SEE HOW IT WOULD GO. IT ISN'T READY TO BLOOM YET & WILL BE A SURPRISE BECAUSE I LOST TRACK; I DID PLANT A CANDY CANE. THE ONES I GOT AT MY FAVORITE NURSERY WERE SLOWED DOWN BY A HEAVY, WET SNOW IN MAY! THEY DO NOT LIKE THE COLD IN OUR UNPREDICTABLE ALBERTA. NOW THEY ARE LOADED WITH BUDS, AS I HAVE GROWN TO EXPECT FROM THESE AWESOME FLOWERS!!
