Karma Dahlia Gold®

Karma Dahlia Gold®

Golden yellow flowers with a darker centers and hints of orange look absolutely stunning in bouquets and fresh floral displays. Karma Dahlias were developed for the cut-flower market in Holland because of their extraordinarily strong stems and almost iridescent colors. Gold Karma Dahlia produces plenty of cheerful flowers measuring 6-7" across starting in midsummer and keeps blooming until the first fall frost. We first came across these special dahlias while visiting the trial gardens of Verwer Brothers several years ago, and think this gold version is definitely one to treasure.

Large root to plant and loaded with big blossoms of gold with reddish blush as flowers opened when in full sun: half shaded flowers stayed yellow-gold. Fabulous in bouquets, they won me over! Look forward to having these in my garden for years! My first year with dahlias- strong, disease and bug resistant plants.

Love these blooms. All 5 tuber clumps were viable. These plants were pretty prolific for having blooms this size. The blooms had pretty good placement on the stems. They didn't look downwards. The yellow color was lovely and soothing not like a highlighter marker. I received a lot of compliments at shows.
