Cowlitz
River Dahlias is now open for sales for the 2010 growing season.
Catalog will be updated daily until it is completed. If you want
to be sure you get a particular variety, go ahead and order it
now even though the catalog isn't complete -- you can always add
to it later.
If you saw a variety
in my garden that isn't listed, contact me. It may be one that
is in very short supply and I am just not listing it for mass
sale. Some varieties will not be listed until digging is complete.
If you see that the Variety name is blue, that means there is
a 2nd picture of that variety. |
