'Arabian Night' Dahlia

Since these are tuberous perennials, you can dig up the tubers after the first frost kills the foliage. Clean off the soil, let them dry, and store them in a cool, dark, and dry place like a basement or garage until spring planting.

While 'Arabian Night' grows on strong stems, they can reach up to 4 feet tall. In areas with high winds or heavy rain, it is a good practice to provide a simple stake or support ring to keep the blooms upright.

This variety requires full sun, which means at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Planting them in a spot with less sun will likely result in fewer blooms and weaker stems.

Absolutely. Their 4-inch double blooms are excellent for cut flower arrangements. For the longest vase life, cut the stems early in the morning when the plant is fully hydrated.
