RaeAnn's Red Rocket

The RaeAnn’s Red Rocket dahlia is a striking and whimsical variety introduced by Wayne Lobaugh Jr. in 2022. It is celebrated for its unique, high-contrast blooms and prolific production, making it a "must-have" for collectors of unconventional and show-worthy varieties.

• Color: Dark Red / Blood Red. Features dark blood-red outer petals contrasted by tiny inner "twizzles" that are red and tipped with a delicate pale lavender.
• Form: Collarette (CO). A distinctive open-centered form with a central disc surrounded by a "collar" of smaller petals. ADS Classification: CO (90xx).
• Bloom Size: Small. Blooms typically measure approximately 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.
• Height: Tall. Reaches an average garden height of 4.5 feet (135 cm).
• Performance: Prolific Bloomer and Tuber Producer. Recognized for its ability to "pump out" both a high volume of flowers and a generous amount of tubers each season. While its form can occasionally be inconsistent or "messy," it is a highly productive variety that has won multiple ribbons in competition.
