Dahlia Mystic Dream Time

Dahlia Mystic Dream Time is a striking garden performer, combining brilliant scarlet-red to vibrant orange blooms with dramatic, near-black foliage for an unforgettable display. Its vibrant, semi-double flowers feature broad, glowing petals surrounding a rich, dark central eye, delicately highlighted with golden stamens. As each bloom matures, the flower colour gradually changes, creating a beautiful blend of warm tones across the plant and a spectacular contrast against the deep mahogany-purple leaves and slender dark stems.

With its compact, bushy habit and abundance of flowers held proudly above the foliage, Mystic Dream Time makes a stunning feature in garden beds, borders and decorative patio containers. Flowering generously through the warmer months, it provides long-lasting colour while its dark foliage remains attractive even when the plant is between blooms.

For best results, plant in a sunny position in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry periods and remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. An excellent choice for gardeners looking for bold colour, sophisticated foliage and outstanding summer impact.
