Description

Mystic Wonder Dahlia is a captivating and compact variety that combines dramatic, dark foliage with sumptuous, velvety blooms. Its deeply lobed, bronze-mahogany leaves create a striking backdrop for the large, single flowers. Each bloom features rich, blood-red, velvety-textured petals that radiate around a bright, golden-yellow central disc. Blooming continuously from early summer until the first frost, this dwarf dahlia is a superb choice for adding a bold splash of sophisticated color to patio containers, the front of sunny borders, or as a standout element in cut flower gardens.

  • Dramatic Bronze-Mahogany Foliage: Features deeply cut, dark burgundy to bronze leaves that provide striking contrast even before flowering.

  • Velvety, Rich Red Single Blooms: Produces large, single flowers with soft, velvety crimson-red petals and a prominent golden-yellow center.

  • Compact, Bushy Habit: A dwarf variety with a sturdy, well-branched form, perfect for containers and small spaces without requiring staking.

  • Prolific Summer-to-Frost Bloomer: Flowers non-stop from early summer until autumn, providing a long season of vibrant color.

  • Excellent for Pollinators & Cutting: The open, single-flower form is highly attractive to bees and butterflies, and the long stems are ideal for bouquets.

Faqs

Q: Is it a good plant for beginners?
A: Yes, its compact size and sturdy stems make it easier to manage than taller, larger-flowered dahlias. It requires the same basic care: plant in full sun after the danger of frost has passed, provide well-drained soil, and water regularly. No staking is typically needed.

Q: Do I need to dig up the tubers in winter?
A: In USDA zones 8 and below, where the ground freezes, yes. After the first frost blackens the foliage, cut the stems back, carefully dig up the tuber clump, let it dry, and store it in a cool, dry place over winter. In frost-free zones (9+), you may leave them in the ground with a protective mulch.
