Mystic Desire Dahlia

Dahlia hybrid

Exposure:  Sun

Height:  18-36"

Spacing:  12-16"

Hardy Temp:  15°F (-9°C)

Showy star-shaped flowers appear to jump off the dark purple foliage and make an excellent addition to mixed containers.  The color contrast is amazing and really highlights the blooms.  We have used this variety in our own landscape in the mixed containers surrounding our deck and receive lots of comments about the large number of blooms open at once.  Blooms until frost.

Growing Tips
Dahlias form tubers and these tubers can be stored for replanting in the spring. To dig and store tubers follow these directions. First, allow frost to kill the top of the plant then cut back the stems and dig the tubers. Wash off any soil and then allow the tubers to dry. Wrap dry tubers in newspapers or pack them in peat moss. Label each tuber or group of tubers so you know what they are come spring. Store tubers in a dark, cool (35 to 45 F) place. Do not allow tubers to freeze. Deadheading will encourage additional blooming.
