Karma Dahlia Choc®
Karma Dahlia Choc®
There are not many flowering plants that can boast foliage that nearly rivals the blooms in color and beauty, but Karma Choc is definitely one of them! This striking decorative-type dahlia is rich and velvety with deep red, fully double flowers that feature chocolate-brown centers for extra appeal. Bred in Holland for the cut-flower market, the 6" blooms are among the finest we've seen, and the lush, burgundy foliage is touched with an unusual teal-blue sheen—truly outstanding! With a moderate 40" height, Karma Choc goes from border to bed to bouquet easily, making it a versatile all-around choice for the landscape. For maximum impact, we suggest planting in groups so that visitors and passersby can get the full effect of the bushy habit and amazing blooms.

One flower. Small, dull color. Not at all like the Karma chocolates I've grown in the past. Very disappointing.
