'Nuit d'Ete' dahlia (Dahlia 'Nuit d'Ete') is a perennial for borders and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Plants reach 35 to 47 inches tall, so give them space in the back of a border.
