How to Grow

Dahlias are grown from tubers (similar to a bulb, but thin-skinned like a potato). Plant tubers in the springtime, about the same time as you would your vegetable gardens or when the ground is warm enough to work up and play in daily. Plant them in a full sun location (giving them 6-8 hours of direct sunlight) and enjoy blooms all summer long. They will bloom and provide you with color and abundant flowers for cutting and enjoying throughout the summer.
The more you cut a dahlia plant, the more it will bloom. Most cut dahlias will last up to 5 days once cut and treated.

Stunning!

This one is one of the best plants in my dahlia collection. The stems are tall and strong, the blooms are vibrant. When this one is in a bouquet, people always comment on its coloring-- vibrant yet dusty.

Shimmers!

One of my favorites in the garden. Nice bushy plant smothered in blooms from mid-season on. This is one of those dahlias that has a metallic-like shimmer to the petals. It doesn't have a long vase life so I just leave them to brighten up the garden.

Wonderful on or cut off the plant!

Very happy with Fire Magic! Nice looking upright plant. Several blooms in a very strange growing season where other dahlias really struggled. Great cut flower as well. The color goes with so many other shades. Priced affordable.
You must have this one.

Okay

Was hoping for this bright/beautiful pink like in the pictures. Actually turned out to be a burgundy. In addition, mine were all about 4" blooms and not 6-8" like listed. Prolific bloomer, but unfortunately they die very fast on the plant and in the vase. I'll actually be giving this one away.

Color is outstanding

The color on this Dahlia is very vibrant beyond what a camera can capture. It does get very tall---about 8 ft. with nice long stems for cutting.

My new favorite

This is my first year with this dahlia and it has rapidly become my favorite. The blooms have extraordinary color and form - as an earlier reviewer said, they are simply mesmerizing. They make outstanding cut flowers and last a long time. The plant is tall and vigorous even in year 1 even though I didn't have time to add fertilizer. I want this in every bouquet that I make!

Eye-Catching

Fire Magic is a smoky, dusky mauvish red that was just outstanding in my garden. There was something mesmerizing about it. The only drawback was that it produced just one new tuber, which I broke when digging, so I'll be ordering another for next year as this is a flower I can't do without.
