Comment	"Jessica is a Medium Semi-Cactus Dahlia. It has yellow base petals with tips that are rose red. A most attractive addition to the border. A good cut-flower. " from Pheasant Acre Plants. Plant 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cms) deep and 30 inches (75 cms) apart. Loved by butterflies and bees. For best flowers, disbud by removing two of the three blooms at the end of each branch. Only pick dahlias in full flower. Recut the hollow stem ends under water to avoid airlocks. Cutting flowers is best done early in the morning or late in the afternoon. As dahlia buds do not open in water, cut the flowers only when completely developed. The Culture and Care page from Verwer Dalias BV of The Netherlands who breed and grow Dahlias provides more growing information. "From its permanent home at Varfell Farm, in Cornwall, The Collection consists of over 1600 names species and cultivars and is the only collection of Dahlias registered with Plant Heritage and therefore able to call itself a National Collection.  We supply rooted cuttings of all the Dahlias in the late spring of each year. The order book is open from July until the following March. We start taking cuttings, to order, in January and send them out to customers during April and May. Even cuttings planted in June will flower that season and make tubers to overwinter to the following year. In the UK The National Dahlia Society issues a Directory of Dahlias with classifications relating to flower and petal formation. Certain classifications are divided further according to flower sizes." from The National Dahlia Collection in the UK. "Every autumn the Puget Sound Dahlia Association plants a dahlia display garden at Volunteer Park in Seattle, along the edge of an open grassy field. My friend, Lori DeMarre, the photographer, first took me there on one of our monthly photo expeditions. Now I return every year (this time with my writing group) to wander among the fantastic blooms.... Dahlias can be planted as seeds but then need at least a year of growth before they will flower. The most common way to plant dahlias is to plant the tubers, either purchased or acquired through dividing the roots of an existing plant. The tubers are planted in spring, about two weeks before the last frost, in trenches, about 4 inches (10 cms) deep, with the buds pointing up, then covered with about 2 inches (5 cms) of soil. They will need plenty of water and support (drive a post into the dirt beside the tuber) or else they will break under their own weight. As they grow, add more dirt to the trench until it is level with the ground. When the plant is about 12 inches (30 cms) high, pinch off the top to encourage lateral growth. The more you pick them, the more blooms they produce. I love to bring my dahlias into the house where their vivid colors warm my days. The scientists at the University of Nebraska Extension advise cutting them in the early morning or late afternoon when the blossom are almost fully open. Remove the lower leaves and place the stems in 110 degree Fahrenheit water in a cool, dark location for 24 hours. The stems should be cut again every day, removing about 1/4 inch and placing them in fresh water, or use a floral preservative.   Dahlias, used to a sunnier climate, are sensitive to frost. After the plants have been destroyed by frost, dig up the tubers on a sunny day, shake off the dirt and store them in a dry, cool place. I must admit that I have never dug up my dahlias (but then the Northwest has relatively mild winters) and they keep producing blooms year after year. This poem written by Edith Matilda Thomas, and printed by Bobby Ward in his book on flower lore, captures both the beauty and the melancholy of this season when the dahlias bloom:- Frost To-Night Apple-green west and an orange bar, And the crystal eye of a lone, one star . . . And, "Child, take the shears and cut what you will. Frost to-night—so close and dead-still."  Then I sally forth, half sad, half proud, And I come to the velvet, imperial crowd, The wine-red, the gold, the crimson, the pied— The dahlias that reign by the garden-side.  The dahlias I might not touch till to-night! A gleam of the shears in the fading light, And I gathered them all,--the splendid throng, And in one great sheaf I bore them along.  In my garden of Life with its all-late flowers I heed a Voice in the shrinking hours: "Frost to-night—so clear and dead-still. . ." Half sad, half proud, my arms I fill." from The Dahlia: Flower of the Month for August from School for All Seasons. Available from Pheasant Acre Plants and The National Dahlia Collection in the UK with Dahlias 4 U in America. Pheasant Acre Plants :- "Pheasant Acre Plants is an established family business run by Rob Evans that operates from nursery premises near Bridgend in South Wales. In recent years we have begun growing, and showing, dahlias which we have sold as tubers at the earlier shows and as plants in flower in pots at the later seasonal shows. In 2012 we were able to substantially increase our growing area at the nursery which enabled us to increase production and to further extend our range so that we can now supply pot-grown dahlia plants ordered via our website, delivered in specialised packs of 3 by post, from spring 2013. The plants are dispatched hardened ready for planting outdoors for summer and autumn flowering."

This makes it the UK’s LARGEST MAIL ORDER PLANT SPECIALIST. Burncoose Nurseries is one of several businesses forming part of the family run Caerhays Estate managed by Charles Williams. The Caerhays Estate is home to a National Magnolia Collection, the gardens at Caerhays are a spring-time wonderland for visitors. The 120 acre woodland gardens are English Heritage Listed Grade II*. The origins of this historically important collection of Chinese plants can be traced back to the work of the great plant hunters Ernest Wilson (1876 - 1930) and George Forrest (1873 - 1932). As Caerhays is a spectacular spring garden, public opening is normally from February to the beginning of June.) " from The National Dahlia Collection.

Heliotropium arborescens is synonymous with Heliotropium peruvianum, but whether cultivar 'Marine' is the same as 'Dwarf Marine' I would not know since their descriptions are different.

The Black Plant Label inserted after the White Plant Label appears to provide the name for a different plant from that named in the White Plant Label, so no Bedding Plant Description Page produced.
