Ferncliff Copper was new for me this year (thanks to Geof/Mandolls) and I guess my many photos of it must confirm that it's my favorite this year:
Penhill Yellow Queen is outstanding at 4' and looks like a beacon in the garden:
French Doll has been a favorite for years. The coleus grew beyond 3' so I've been cutting them back to allow French Doll to show off:
Nadine Jessie is gorgeous:
Vancouver is a must for me. If I couldn't have it in the garden I doubt I'd grow any dahlias:
