dahlia 'Miss Ellen'

'Miss Ellen' is a tallish plant to 150cm, with unusual single flowers. The inner surfaces of the ray florets are a deep magenta red, yellow at the base with a touch of creamy white at the apex. The reverse side is grey, and the florets are incurved to form pointed tubes at the outer end, thus giving a distinctive bi-colour effect. The disc is a rich orange-yellow. Flowers are 12cm diameter, held just above the leaves
