This bed wasn’t supposed to turn out to be my most beautiful. I spent much more time in several other perennial beds. But thanks to two flats of super cheap impatiens, and splurge on pansies in early spring this bed reaps more compliments than any other by far.
In early June the two dark green mounds were covered in daisies. The repeat of pink and yellow was totally accidental.
A quick story about this dahlia. I planted this dahlia from seed, along with about six others. In an unfortunately automobile accident this dahlia got ran over by a car when it was about to be planted. It was cut in half. I plopped it in here, thinking, if it didn’t survive it wouldn’t be missed. However, to my great surprise and delight this is by far my most productive dahlia- and my largest. As they say, trials make us stronger! (Should I cut my dahlias in half from now on?!)
