Camano Crash

The Camano Crash dahlia is a striking and bold variety known for its intense color and substantial, textured blooms. Hybridized by Aimone, it is highly valued by exhibitors and home gardeners for its dramatic presence and reliable performance in the mid-to-late season.

• Color: Red (R). A deep, vibrant, and saturated red that maintains its intensity even in full sun, often described as a true, classic crimson. 
• Form: Informal Decorative (ID). Features long, broad petals that are twisted or wavy, giving the bloom a relaxed, shaggy, and voluminous appearance compared to more structured varieties. ADS Classification: 2106. 
• Bloom Size: Medium (B). The impressive blossoms typically measure between 6 to 8 inches (15–20 cm) in diameter, making them a significant focal point in the garden.
• Height: Medium. Grows to a sturdy height of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 feet (75–105 cm). Because of the weight of its medium-sized blooms, staking is generally required to keep the stems upright. 
• Performance: Reliable Exhibition & Garden Variety. Praised for its strong stems and consistent bloom quality, it is a frequent choice for competitive shows. It is a prolific producer that benefits from pinching at 12 inches to encourage bushier growth and a higher volume of flowers throughout the season.
