Uli et al,

There has been some breeding here in Australia I have been told between the
taller imperialis and the "normal" dahlias.  These have resulted in at
least soem hybrids that are ranging between the 2 and 3 metre mark with
single or full double flowers in a range of colours.  I am going to try to
track some of these down to try and beg for some cuttings <grin>.  In
particular I know of a full double ball-type apricot hybrid that grows to
around the 2.5m mark.... I WANT!!

So the hybrids can obviously be made at least.

Cheers.
