Dahlia 'Merlot Magic' - Perennials, Large Blooms, Dahlia Tubers

Dahlia 'Merlot Magic' is a captivating addition to any garden, with its pretty flowers that start with a subtle bicolor and become more pronounced as each bloom ages. As a strong-cut flower with a good vase life, Merlot Magic Dahlia features long, straight stems and a big, ball-shaped flower form, making it an easily eye-catching display. While it can be grown in a container, this taller variety with nice, big flowers may require support to keep it upright, and it's better suited to a landscape where staking wouldn't be as tricky, allowing the large blooms to shine.

One of the most appealing features of Dahlia 'Merlot Magic' is its extended blooming period, typically lasting from summer well into the fall. This extended flowering season means you can enjoy their beauty for months on end, adding a touch of glamour to the outdoor space throughout the growing season. Whether planted in borders, containers, or as part of a cutting garden, these Dahlias will reward you with an abundance of luxurious blooms that are perfect for bouquets, floral arrangements, and even as standalone statement pieces in your home.

As a perennial, Dahlia Merlot Magic returns year after year, providing reliable beauty and color to the garden. With proper care and maintenance, these Dahlia tubers can continue to flourish for many seasons, becoming a cherished staple in the outdoor space. Dahlia 'Merlot Magic' pairs beautifully with a variety of other plants, offering endless possibilities for creative garden combinations. Consider planting them alongside complementary colors such as soft pinks, creamy whites, or vibrant oranges to create striking color contrasts, and pair them with foliage plants with different textures and shapes to add visual interest and depth to garden beds and containers.

Dahlia 'Merlot Magic' typically reaches a height of 38 inches (96 centimeters), making it an excellent choice for mid-to-back borders, where it can serve as a focal point or backdrop for shorter plants. Despite their stunning appearance, 'Merlot Magic' dahlias are surprisingly low maintenance, thriving in well-draining soil and requiring regular watering, but otherwise, they are relatively easy to care for. With minimal effort, you can enjoy their beauty year after year.

The large, showy blooms of 'Merlot Magic' dahlias are irresistible to pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. By including these Dahlias in your garden, you can attract these beneficial insects and contribute to the health and diversity of your local ecosystem. Additionally, the long stems and abundant blooms of Dahlia 'Merlot Magic' make it an ideal choice for cutting gardens, allowing you to enjoy the flowers indoors while also encouraging the plant to produce more blooms and extend the flowering season.

Dahlia 'Merlot Magic' is a versatile landscape plant that adapts well to various garden styles, from formal designs to cottage gardens and mixed borders.
