Dramatic blackish-red flowers make Arabian Night Large Decorative Dahlia a favorite bouquet flower. The fully double, 6-8" flowers with soft-quilled petals are stunning when grouped together or with other colors. Long lasting and with strong stems, they are excellent cut flowers. Growing 40-44" tall, Arabian Knight Dahlias also are gorgeous in the sunny garden. They add a burst of color and life to your late-summer garden—and they'll keep blooming until the first fall frost. Deer tend to pass them by.

Most reliable Dahlia

Submitted 1 year ago

By BigDog57

From North Central Idaho

I have grown Arabian Nights for several years. While I get spotty results with other varieties, this on ALWAYS comes through and produces loads of dark red blossoms. It makes a nice sturdy plant, htat just keeps on blooming until frost. It does respond better if you keep harvesting blossoms, forming lots of new stems. This is my most trusted Dahlia, it always produces!!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Decent Dahlia

I planted these in pots. for the most part they grew fine and had a decent number of blooms. They weren't as nice as Thomas Edison Dahlias in my opinion. I think some of the issue was the extremely long dry spell in Illinois this summer with high heat. ( For that matter nothing seemed as prolific or as full as previous years). I did water and fertilize too with bloom booster. So I gave them a 4 out of 5. I will be saving the tubers though. As for looks they are pretty nice.
