  • Description / Dahlia Mero Star Decorative Dahlia Bulb

    Welcome the Dahlia Mero Star to your garden, a radiant symbol of floral magnificence! As the last frost of early spring fades, embrace this exquisite decorative dahlia. From the vibrant days of midsummer to the gentle descent of late fall, Mero Star adorns your garden with its magnificent large fully double flowers. Each blossom, boasting symmetrically arranged magenta petals with frosted margins, stands tall on sturdy stems, resilient against rain and wind.

    Beyond its visual allure, Dahlia Mero Star beckons bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its nectar-rich blooms, ensuring your garden thrives with life throughout the seasons. And when it's time to bring this beauty indoors, fear not, Mero Star's long-lasting blooms are perfect for late-season bouquets and arrangements. With each harvest, Mero Star rewards you with fresh blooms, ensuring a continuous display of floral opulence.

    This clump-forming perennial boasts an upright habit that rarely requires staking, making it a versatile choice for containers, beds, or borders. Whether as a solitary star or clustered in groups, Mero Star captivates with its stunning presence.

    To nurture Dahlia Mero Star to its fullest potential, seek out sunny to partly shady locations with well-draining, fertile soil. Whether your soil is clay, loam, or sandy, this dahlia thrives in various conditions. Maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the growing season, pinching out growing tips to encourage bushiness, and diligently deadheading spent flowers for a profusion of blooms.

    While Dahlia Mero Star enchants with its beauty, it's essential to note that it's not pet-friendly. Keep it out of reach of furry companions for their safety.

    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.

    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.
