Mirella Dahlia – Bulbs

For an unusually attractive display from midsummer to fall, look no further than Mirella Dahlia. This ball-type variety bears unique orb-shaped blooms made up of tightly packed tubular petals. Though Mirella’s form is outstanding, it’s the color that really turns heads. Rich orange and red-orange hues blend together nicely, and are shot through with coppery highlights that create a glowing appearance on the flowers. They make the perfect choice for cut-flower bouquets or a lovely border flower that works well with any light, bright or dark perennials you can find. Easy-to-grow dahlias are tolerant of many soil types and deer resistant. If you live in zones 3-6, dig tubers in fall and store in a cool, dry place til next year. Dahlia ball ‘Mirella’
