Mingus Randy Dahlia produces massive flowers and starts blooming rather early for a large-flowering Dahlia—perhaps a week or two earlier than most. The subtle color is the story here, with spidery petals that are white toward the center, but seemingly dipped in a lavender wash that deepens toward the tips. They are of the taller type (36-39"), producing strong, sturdy stems and crisp, green foliage; making a bold statement wherever planted (we suggest to the middle or rear of the border). With few pests or diseases to trouble them, dahlias satisfy our guilty pleasure—to look like an expert gardener with little effort. They're long lived in arrangements too, lasting 7-10 days without fail. Easy-to-grow dahlias are not bothered by deer, rabbits or other garden pests. Dahlia decorative ?Mingus Randy'
