Dahlia Dazzling Magic

Dahlia ‘Dazzling Magic’ is a vibrant decorative dahlia that brings warmth, movement, and shifting colour into the summer garden. The blooms are fully double with a classic, well-formed shape that feels structured yet full of life. The colour palette is dynamic, starting with a golden yellow base layered with tones of orange and red that move across the petals as each bloom develops. Some flowers appear bright and sunlit, while others take on deeper, fiery shades, giving the plant a naturally varied appearance throughout the season.

Flowers typically reach 13–18 cm across and are held on strong, upright stems. Plants grow to around 90–105 cm tall and flower continuously from midsummer until the first frosts when regularly deadheaded. In the garden, Dahlia ‘Dazzling Magic’ adds warmth and intensity to borders, especially in late summer planting schemes. It works beautifully with copper, apricot, and deep red tones, and also stands out against darker foliage or more muted planting combinations.

As a cut flower, it is highly reliable, producing strong stems and blooms that maintain their shape well in arrangements. The shifting colour makes it equally effective as a focal flower or as part of mixed bouquets. For best results, plant tubers in spring in a sunny, well-drained position and provide staking early in the season.
