Like a favorite piece of jewelry, Palmares is a valuable gem in the garden for several reasons. Her unique color combination turns heads every time and her proclivity for regularly producing pompons of compact petaled perfection make her the perfect fit for containers and borders while providing lots of long-stemmed blooms for vases and arrangements. A perpetual favorite dahlia variety in France and several other European countries, this beauty feels just as at home glitzing up gardens in the USA.
