Not only are the Dahlias dazzling to look at, but just as importantly:
1. They are deer-resistant-ish. Occasionally we see some nibbles, but the deer aren't too interested in munching on these. They much prefer our hastas and hydrangeas!
2. They are Marti-maintainable (a.k.a. low-maintance.) This is essential since I still consider myself a gardening newbie (even though it's been 7 years since we started our landscaping projects!) Mikey is the landscaping expert in our family, but he's usually working on heavier-duty projects that involve chainsaws, wood splitters, or tractors!
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
