Dinnerplate Dahlias are always an exciting draw in the garden because it’s hard for anyone to resist the larger than life blooms many reaching 9″ across. ‘Mystery Day’ adds to the drama with a bi-color bloom consisting of perfectly sculpted flowers of deep maroon petals each tipped with a snowy white frosting. These massive, fully double flowers are, of course, its most amazing feature but, ‘Mystery Day’ also is noteworthy because of its vigorous growth coupled with compact size for such a large flowering Dahlia, only reaching 48″ in height. This compact form allows for more garden stability and less support needed for each massive bloom. ‘Mystery Day’ blooms from mid-June until frost and will always have an ample supply of flowers for cutting as long as you plant it in a spot with full sun and moist, well-drained soil.
