Mystic Illusion
DAHLIA
X HYBRIDA
The Dahlia Mystic Series, bred by distinguished NZ plant breeder, Dr. Keith Hammett, features a chic collection of dazzling blooms to suit every palette. Single blooms are set against deep mahogany to black, filigreed foliage, creating a distinctive style for contemporary gardens. ‘Mystic Illusion' produces masses of vibrant, saturated yellow, blooms, which totally pop against the mahogany foliage. A unique, dark brown, central disc enhances the overall aesthetic of the blooms, which attract bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects from near and far.
Dahlia Mystic selections are bred to be well-branched and form a compact, rounded bush that does not require staking. They are the perfect easy care, low maintenance, choice for garden borders, either as stand-alone specimens, or mass planted for the most astonishing summer / autumn display. They can also be planted in a large container, as a single specimen, or teamed with contrasting foliage plants, to adorn decks and patios. Plant in rich, moisture retentive, soil, in a sunny, sheltered location. Pick for the vase and deadhead spent flowerheads through the season to promote further flowering. Deciduous.
