Notes
'Mystic Wizard' dahlia (Dahlia 'Mystic Wizard') is a bulb for gardens, 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. Hot magenta flowers with dark centers sit above dark burgundy, finely cut leaves, and bees visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer. Protect it from winter wet, or lift and store the bulbs in a cool, dry, frost free place.
Pairs well with Shenandoah switchgrass, Miss Violet wand butterflybush, and Elfin mother of thyme.
