Missis Miley is a decorative dahlia with warm, coppery red blooms deepening toward plum or berry tones in the center. It is bred as a small‑flowered decorative type that is very productive and good for cutting.​  Blooms are fully double and layered, about 4 inches across, with a blend of rust, copper‑brown, and purple‑red shades that give a rich, glowing effect. The flowers sit on long, straight stems that show well in the garden and in vases.​  Plants typically reach about 36–40 inches tall and form a bushy clump with dark green foliage that sets off the warm flower colors. The variety blooms from midsummer to frost, making it a reliable choice for borders and cutting gardens needing late‑season color.​
