I bought this from a local dahlia vendor 3 years ago and have been growing and selling it ever since. Today (5/7) I learned that my Bacardi does not look like anyone else’s, so apparently a mislabel! Still pretty, but not Bacardi.

Do note that this huge plant produces smaller than usual tubers. Don’t be surprised if the tubers you receive seem small — they will still produce amazing blooms.
