Arabian Night Dahlia

It's hard to pick just one Dahlia, but Arabian Night Dahlia is a top choice for its unique and brilliantly toned red flowers. A relatively tall Dahlia, Arabian Night is a nice addition to the back of a perennial border or in a grouping with other summer bloomers such as Agastache, Salvia, ornamental grasses, and other Dahlias. As cut flowers, they are an instant bouquet. Excellent cut flowers – the more you cut, the more it blooms. Dahlias need a full sun location in compost enriched, well-drained soil. They are heavy feeders so before planting add an organic fertilizer to the soil as well. It is hardy in zones 8-10; grow as an annual in cooler zones or dig and store tubers over the winter to re-plant in spring.
