I have lots of seed grown dahlias and I think they are beautiful, of course not show winners but my non gardener friends think they are amazing. Plus inexpensive and since I don't have to lift tubers in my zone they come back each year. I have a peachy one that I grew from seed swap and it turned out stunning plentiful blooms, branched out like a shrub, definitely a keeper. I gave one of my dahlia seedlings to a friend and she is amazed by its flowering. I'm one of those folks who always has mongrel pets, never purebred, kind of like my garden lol.
