Description
Francophiles already know that 'Nuit d'Ete' translates to "summer night," but even non-Francophiles certainly won't be lost in translation when it comes to this extraordinary dahlia. Deep, dark, and decadent, gardeners looking to add a contemporary flair to their dahlia collection need to include this beauty in their plans. As attention-grabbing in the vase as it is in the garden, 'Nuit d'Ete' thrives in sunny areas with minimal care.
Dahlias are perennial in zones 8-10, but in cooler zones, tubers can be dug after frost comes, stored over winter, then re-planted the following spring. Grow Dahlias in a sunny spot, in average soil that drains well. Keep moisture consistent once it begins to grow and enjoy a non-stop color parade. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and pinch off small side buds to encourage larger flowers if desired.
