8 Glencoe Dandy

Aptly named, this dahlia is indeed quite a dandy addition to the garden. The three-tone magenta, white and yellow double flowers sit on a 2½-foot-tall plant. The miniature size and bold colors give it a different flair. Glencoe Dandy is a prolific bloomer starting in midsummer.

Why we love it: The small size works well in containers or garden borders.
