Description
Dahlia 'Moonfire'
Height x Spread: 75cm x 45cm
A dwarf cultivar, 'Moonfire' bears single flowerheads of yellow-orange petals tinted red at their base around a dark red eye ringed with gold. This contrasts beautifully with its luscious dark bronze foliage.
The almost tropical colour combination makes this Dahlia a definite must for the front of a hot border. A magnet for bees and butterflies, 'Moonfire' also makes a superb container plant. It performs best in nutrient and humus rich, well-drained soil in full sun. In colder areas, lift, dry and store tubers frost free once its foliage has been blackened by the autumn frosts.
