Expert Tips for Growing ‘Dazzling Magic’ in Malta: To maximize the “magic” in your garden:
Full Sun for Full Color: This variety thrives in full sun. The more sunlight it receives, the more intense and “dazzling” the orange and yellow pigments will be.
Feeding for Size: To achieve the largest possible blooms, feed every 10–14 days with a high-potash liquid fertilizer. This supports the plant through the intense flowering season.
Regular Deadheading: Cut off spent blooms regularly. This prevents the plant from setting seed and signals it to keep producing those magical sunset flowers.
Deep Watering: In Malta’s dry summer, water deeply at the roots at least 2-3 times a week (more if in pots). Avoid wetting the petals to keep the bicolor contrast sharp and prevent sun-scorch.
Tuber Care: After the flowering season ends in late autumn, the tubers can be left in the ground in Malta’s frost-free climate, provided the soil has good drainage.
Color: Vibrant Orange with Golden Yellow accents.
Bloom Time: July – October.
Height: Approx. 90 – 100 cm.
Season: Summer Bloomer.
