Can't believe I missed posting this last year! Eastern Echo is a rich red beauty, difficult to find on the internet. 'My' version, bought at a dahlia association sale, is not variegated pink and red, but always a solid bright red mass of beauty. I am passing it on as "Eastern Echo" because that is how it was labelled. Excellent larger cut flower in outstanding color; a little later to bloom but worth the wait.
