Plump, globe-shaped blooms in rich purple float above the foliage from midsummer into autumn on this brand-new Breck’s release. Perfect for back borders and along sunlit paths, Purple Balloon offers a longer vase life than most dahlias. This helps keep mixed bouquets looking fresh indoors. Each fully double flower measures about 41/2" across and holds its shape beautifully both in the garden and in the vase.
