Clearview Lila but it makes me thinkPretty lavender Variety in a softer stellar form dahlia. I originally got this one as a namesake for a friend who's mothers' name was Lila. She struggled the first year I grew her but absolutely outdid herself last year! 6" blooms on 4 5' plants. She is typically a softer lavender color than she was the day I took this picture, but in cooler weather she can be more color saturated.
