      Dahlia Mystic Spiriit has soft apricot coloured flowers atop dark burgundy filigreed foliage. The Mystic Series has some of the darkest foliage of any dahlia. Excellent in containers or in the garden. Will bloom from June until October. Three options for winter starting with the easiest and safest: 1. grow in a pot and move to a frost-free area, 2. lift tubers and store, 3. (for coastal BC) leave in the ground in well-drained, sunny beds under a mound of fallen leaves. Cultivar name: 'Best Bett'.
