High Country Gardens Arabian Night Dahlia

If you live in USDA zones 8-10, you can leave the tubers in the ground year-round. In cooler climates, you should lift and store the tubers indoors once the first frost kills the foliage, then replant them in the spring.

The Arabian Night Dahlia is a cut-and-come-again flower. Regularly harvesting the blooms for bouquets encourages the plant to produce more stems, keeping your garden display continuous through the summer.

These dahlias thrive in well-drained soil that has been enriched with organic matter like compost. Because they are heavy feeders, mixing in a balanced organic fertilizer at planting time will support their vigorous growth.

While they are excellent for perennial borders, they can be grown in large containers provided the pots have adequate drainage and the plants receive full sun. Ensure the container is deep enough to support their height and root system.

This variety requires full sun to perform its best. Aim for at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure strong stems and the most vibrant red color.
