Notes
'Melissa Anna Marijke' dahlia (Dahlia 'Melissa Anna Marijke') is a bulb for mid-border beds, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry soil. The magenta-pink flowers have a violet overtone and cherry red petal reverses. They sit above burgundy-infused foliage and bloom from summer to frost. Lift and store the tubers in a cool, dry place indoors if your winters are wet.
Pairs well with Helene Von Stein lamb’s ear, Shenandoah switchgrass, and Millenium ornamental onion.
