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. Height: 80 cm (31 in) Spread: 80 cm (31 in)

Plant dahlias outdoors after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist, rich, fertile but well drained soil.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."
