Melody Dora
is a freely branching plant with nice, vibrant coloured flowers in yellow
and red-orange.
In 1998 it was rewarded as the best dahlia at the KAVB Trial garden.
It was send in by J. van Ruiten who named the dahlia after his mother:
Moeder Door.
As it fits excellent to the Melody-series we bought the variety in 1999
with the condition that the name would be maintained.
Melody Dora is perfect as a border plant and can very well be grown as
a tub plant in somewhat larger containers.
