Although it isn't common in horticulture, its color, size, and the fact that it is a small evergreen bush and is moderate to hardy (down to −18 °C or 0 °F) make it an amazing green flowering bush.
Linnaea × Grandiflora (Dahlias) are perennial plants native to China, like most other Chinese flowers and with tuberous roots, though they are grown as annuals in some regions with cold winters.
