Happy Days™ Purple Dahlia

Happy Days™ Purple Dahlia (70089150) is a mounding Dahlia x hybrida selection with purple flowers and nearly black, dissected foliage. Syngenta lists 10–14 inches in both directions, part sun to full sun, flowering from mid-spring through summer, and hardiness zone 10a ([Happy Days Purple](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70089150)). Its branched form suits a container or sunny border. ## Growing Conditions Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Keep plants watered through hot, dry periods and mulch the root zone to help retain moisture. The manufacturer also notes the series’ well-branched habit and suitability for landscape plantings and pots. ## Maintenance Deadhead faded flowers to encourage continued bloom. In cold-winter gardens, lift tubers after frost, dry them, and store them in a cool, dry medium; in milder zones, mulch tubers over winter. Dahlias can also be treated as seasonal annuals.
