Description / Dahlia Melody Dora Decorative Dahlia Bulb
Plant Dahlia Melody Dora, a captivating colorful dahlia, in early spring once the frost threat wanes. From midsummer until the first frost, revel in its elegant 5-inch salmon-orange blooms, each boasting a radiant golden center and meticulously arranged broad, slightly curled petals. These nectar- and pollen-rich blossoms, borne on robust stems that defy rain, make perfect homes and feeding places for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to grace your garden for months on end.
These vibrant, enduring flowers serve as splendid additions to late-season bouquets and floral displays. And here's a delightful secret: the more you trim, the more Melody Dora dahlias flourish. This hybrid marvel, the Melody Dora Dahlia, showcases a clump-forming perennial nature with an upright demeanor, seldom needing support. Perfect for containers, garden beds, or borders, its allure magnifies when clustered together.
Choose a sunny to partly shady spot with fertile, humus-rich soil for your Melody Dora Dahlia. Protect it from harsh winds, although it gracefully endures various soil types and pH levels. Throughout the growing season, maintain consistent moisture, never allowing the soil to parch. Encouraging a bushy appearance is as simple as pinching out growing tips, while deadheading spent blooms stimulates fresh flowering.
Remember, while Melody Dora enchants with its beauty, it's not considered friendly for your pets or furry companions. Embrace the essence of creamy yellow, salmon, and orange hues in your garden with the enchanting dahlia melody dora.

Zones 8 - 11. What is My Zone?
NOTE: In Zones 3-7, the bulbs will need to be lifted before the first frost and overwintered inside. However, dahlias can be grown as annuals in all Zones.
Dahlias come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. Dahlias are grown from tubers, which are similar to bulbs, so they're easy to plant. Follow our expert's advice on how to plant and care for dahlias in our Dahlia Care Guide. To learn more about dahlias, read our blog All About Dahlias.
