1,100.00

The Mingus Toni dahlia (often mistakenly referred to as a bulb) is an informal decorative variety known for its prolific blooms. It is highly prized by gardeners and florists for its striking appearance and excellent qualities as a cut flower.

The Dahlia ‘Mingus Toni’ is a highly popular, prolific blooming dahlia renowned for its striking bicolor, variegated petals. It produces 4 to 5-inch deep pink and magenta blooms with dark raspberry stripes and a bright yellow center, making it a standout favorite for summer bouquets. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Characteristics:
  • Plant Size: Grows to a manageable 3.5 to 5 feet tall, with a bushy habit.
  • Classification: Informal decorative (BB size).
  • Bloom Time: Blooms early and continues prolifically throughout the season. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    How to Plant and Grow:
    Like all dahlias, Mingus Toni grows from a tuber (often casually referred to as a bulb). [1, 2, 3]
    • Soil & Sun: Plant in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with full sun exposure. [1, 2]
    • Planting: Lay the tuber horizontally about 10 cm (4 inches) deep, with the “eye” (the growing point) facing up. Space plants about 50 cm apart. [1, 2]
    • Water & Care: Water regularly once sprouts appear, but avoid overwatering to prevent rot. Fertilize throughout the season with a phosphorus or potassium-heavy feed. [1]
    • Winter Storage: In areas with freezing winters, the tubers must be carefully dug up after the first frost and stored in a cool, dark, frost-free location. [1, 2]
