Chewy is a lovely variety that has gained popularity in recent years, and for good reason. The vintage, rose–colored blooms with plum centers and green eyes are the perfect size for floral arranging. Robust plants produce an abundance of flowers but tend to be a bit stalky, so pinch early and cut deep when harvesting. A great cut flower and forms plentiful, big, chunky tubers—as seen in the last photo. Chewy is also a good, affordable substitute for dahlia Winkie Truffle.
