'Arabian Night' Dahlia
The 'Arabian Night' Dahlia delivers striking drama to any summer garden with its alluring, deep maroon, near-black double blooms, measuring about 4 inches across. These sun-loving perennials thrive in heat and bloom profusely from midsummer until the first frost. Growing on strong green stems, they reach about 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide at maturity. Since they grow from tuberous roots, gardeners in colder zones can easily lift and save the tubers for planting again the following season, making them versatile for borders, cottage gardens, or cut flower arrangements.

What customers say
The 'Arabian Night' Dahlia earns high praise for its spectacular aesthetic quality. Gardeners consistently adore the mature blooms, describing the deep, velvety, almost black red coloration as dramatic and a stunning focal point. Its prolific blooming habit throughout the season often exceeds expectations set by promotional images. While the resulting beauty justifies the investment for successful growers, a recurring point of friction involves the initial viability of the tubers. Some customers report receiving small stock that failed to sprout, causing disappointment given the premium cost. Overall satisfaction remains high for those who nurture the plant to bloom, celebrating its rich visual impact.
