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 Spirit' produces masses of demure, soft apricot, lightly ribbed, blooms enhanced by a unique, dark brown, central disc. Blooms 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.
