Manoa

The Manoa dahlia is a moody and sophisticated variety prized for its dramatic contrast of deep, velvety blooms against striking dark foliage. It is widely celebrated for its rich, "chocolatey" elegance and its ability to add significant depth to any garden border or moody floral arrangement. 

• Color: Dark Red / Deep Burgundy (DR). Features intense,velvety petals in shades of rich maroon, deep purple, and chocolate-red that appear almost black in some lighting.
• Form: Formal Decorative (FD). Boasts neatly arranged, slightly rounded petals that create a full yet refined and symmetrical bloom. ADS Classification: 3110 (Small Formal Decorative Dark Red).
• Bloom Size: Small (BB). Flowers typically range from 4 to 5 inches (10–12 cm) in diameter—a versatile size that offers high impact without being overly heavy.
• Height: Medium to Tall. A vigorous grower that typically reaches 3 to 4 feet (90–120 cm) tall. The plant is notably supported by strong, dark stems that perfectly complement its dark leaves.
• Performance: Reliable Garden and Cut Flower. Highly valued for its strong stems and consistent output. It is frequently used as a more reliable, higher-yielding alternative to the popular 'Karma Choc' variety, delivering the same deep coloring with better tuber performance
