Dahlia 'Mystic Enchantment' is a stunning variety that brings a touch of elegance to any garden with its deep, dark red flowers. These large, fully double blooms exude a velvety richness that creates a striking contrast against the lush greens of summer and autumn landscapes. The plant's robust, upright growth habit ensures that the abundant flower heads are well-supported, allowing them to stand tall and proud throughout the blooming season. With a flowering period that stretches from mid-summer until the first frost, this dahlia offers a prolonged display of color, making it a favorite among garden enthusiasts.
To thrive, 'Mystic Enchantment' prefers full sun and well-drained, fertile soil, which are essential for optimal growth and vibrant flowering. During dry spells, regular watering is crucial to keep the plant healthy and flourishing. Additionally, practicing deadheading—removing spent blooms—will encourage the dahlia to produce even more flowers, extending its beauty throughout the season. This makes it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a colorful garden from summer into the cooler months.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this dahlia variety also plays a role in supporting local wildlife. It attracts a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, which enhances the biodiversity of your garden. For gardeners in colder regions of the UK, it is important to lift and store the tubers in a frost-free environment during winter to ensure they survive the colder months. Whether used in borders, containers, or as part of cut flower arrangements, Dahlia 'Mystic Enchantment' is sure to enchant anyone who encounters it. Height: 100 cm (39 in) Spread: 60 cm (24 in)
