Dahlia 'Mystery Day' is a striking decorative dahlia that captivates with its large, fully double blooms featuring a mesmerizing blend of purplish-red hues with elegant white-tipped petals.

Growing 36-48 inches tall, this showstopper delivers dramatic garden impact and exceptional cut flowers from mid-summer until frost.
1 Bulb
Plant 'Mystery Day' tubers in spring after frost danger passes, positioning them 4-6 inches deep and 18-24 inches apart in rich, well-drained soil. Choose a full sun location, though light afternoon shade benefits plants in hotter regions. Water consistently throughout the growing season without waterlogging. Apply low-nitrogen fertilizer every 3-4 weeks and stake taller plants for support. Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous blooming. In zones 3-7, lift tubers before first frost and store in a cool, dark place for winter.Start Planning Now for Flowers Later!
