Dahlia ‘Midnight Dancer’
Description
Dahlia 'Midnight Dancer' is a striking dahlia variety that adds a touch of elegance and mystery to the garden. Each 6 inch flower features deep, velvety petals in shades of dark burgundy and raspberry, creating a dramatic contrast against its green foliage. ‘Midnight Dancer’ belongs to the formal decorative group, distinguished by its fully double blooms that are symmetrical and uniform in shape. These dahlias have densely packed petals that can be flat or slightly incurved, creating a perfect, formal flower form. 'Midnight Dancer' grows to a height of 3-4 feet and is perfect for borders, beds, or as a focal point in the garden.
Care
Dahlias are generally low-maintenance. They do best in well-draining soil and prefer full sun for optimal growth and flowering. Tubers can be planted outside after the last frost. Nourish with a balanced fertilizer once the plants are established.
Throughout the growing season, provide support for tall varieties, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Harvest blossoms when buds are 3/4 open.
