Description

Dahlia ‘Mountain of Fire’ is a stunning decorative cultivar renowned for its vibrant, pillar-box red blooms that are fully double and measure around 8 cm in diameter. These striking flowers are beautifully complemented by deep bronze-black foliage, creating a dramatic contrast that enhances any garden setting. Blooming profusely from mid-summer until the first frosts, this dahlia variety adds a fiery touch to borders, containers, and cutting gardens, making it a favorite among gardeners looking to make a bold statement.

The glossy, dark bronze-black leaves serve as an eye-catching backdrop for the vivid red flowers, which are often edged with subtle hints of orange-yellow, adding depth and interest to the overall appearance. As a clump-forming tuberous perennial, ‘Mountain of Fire’ is frequently treated as an annual in cooler regions of the UK, where its vibrant display can be enjoyed throughout the warmer months. To ensure optimal growth, this dahlia thrives in full sun and prefers fertile, well-drained soil, benefiting from regular watering during dry spells to maintain its lush appearance.

While the sturdy upright stems of this dahlia typically provide good support for the heavy blooms, staking may be necessary to prevent any flopping as the flowers mature. Additionally, ‘Mountain of Fire’ is an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements, thanks to its long stems and the longevity of its blossoms. However, it is important to note that this cultivar is not frost hardy; therefore, gardeners should lift the tubers after the first hard frost, allowing them to dry before storing them in a frost-free environment over the winter months to ensure their survival for the next growing season.
