This variety is remarkably easy to propagate. Like the Daylily Europa, even the most modest piece of a tuber will sprout and grow. This is quite distinct from my experience with most other Dahlia varieties, which only propagate by division when you get a piece of the crown with a growth bud attached to a tuber. It does not hurt that it is also pretty good looking.

Since Dahlias have to be stored inside to survive our Zone 5-6 winters, this characteristic makes it much easier to keep as well.
