Mystic Illusion Dahlia Plant

Mystic Illusion Dahlia Plant offers showy, star-shaped, lemon-yellow flowers that appear to jump right off its dark foliage. Plants are heat tolerant and resistant to powdery mildew, and removing finished flowers promotes continuous blooms! They make fantastic thrillers in combination containers, and morning sun / afternoon shade works best in warmer climates. This award winner will give your other plants an inferiority complex!

Dahlia Plant Care: Wait until green sprouts emerge from the soil before watering. Then water deeply 2-3 times per week. Daily if in containers. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks for containers and every 3-4 weeks for soil grown. Use fertilizers that have a lower nitrogen count, generally half the amount of the other two on the NPK ratio. After frost has turned foliage brown, dig up the tubers and store them for the winter. 

Dahlia Companion Plants: Geranium, Salvia
