Notes
'After Dusk' dahlia (Dahlia 'After Dusk') is a bulb with burgundy waterlily flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry soil. The flowers measure four inches across and sit above burgundy foliage. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Wet winters can harm it, so lift and store it in a cool, dry, frost free place.
Pairs well with Shenandoah switchgrass, Meadow sage, and Millenium ornamental onion.
