Coral Sea - Cutting

KA’s Coral Sea Dahlia is a formal decorative variety celebrated for its smoky ombré palette and wavy petal texture. 

Characteristics:

Form: Informal Decorative (ID) or Formal Decorative (FD). The fully double blooms feature wavy, sometimes slightly irregular petals, which give the flower a lush, voluminous appearance with a sense of movement.

Color: An exquisite, complex Blend (Orange/Pink/Salmon). The color is best described as a smoky coral, peach, or dusky salmon hue. It exhibits a distinct ombré effect, transitioning from soft peach or creamy tones at the center to a deeper coral or pinky-salmon at the petal edges. Many blooms feature subtle gold tips that catch the light.

Bloom Size: BB (Small) to M (Medium), with blooms typically between 4 to 5 inches (10–13 cm) in diameter.

Height: A tall, vigorous plant, growing between 4 to 5 feet (120–150 cm).

Performance:

• This dahlia is a prolific cut-flower star, producing copious blooms throughout the season.
• The long, strong stems make it an ideal cutting variety for the florist market.
• Its unique smoky and muted color palette makes it an exceptional focal point or blender for elegant, coastal, or sunset-themed bouquets.
• Note: Some growers report that in high heat, the centers may open ('blow') quickly, so it is best to harvest the blooms early in the morning before they are fully mature.
