Notes

'Missis Miley' dahlia (Dahlia 'Missis Miley') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil. The four inch flowers are brick red with deep plum-purple centers and sit above lush green foliage. Peter Komen bred it, and butterflies visit the blooms. Winter wet can harm it, so lift and store the tubers in a cool, dry place indoors.

Pairs well with Pineapple sage, Purple top, and Mondo grass.
