Good Qualities
Color (2); This year we tried the new colors, Dream, Exquisite and Golden State. The results were excellent as the other ‘Blue Point Dahlia’ cultivars. Our plants grew to 6′ tall in the field this year. We are planting more zinnias as a whole next year.; Uniformity, size, stem length.
Problems
Only bug problems. We did have leaf spot, which did not affect harvest, and powdery mildew, which did not occur until September when it cooled down.; All were very susceptible to brown rot, most had to be discarded as plugs before planting.
