RM Raspberry Twinkle

The RM Raspberry Twinkle dahlia is a joyful and high-energy variety introduced by River Merle Farm (Megan Merle). It is prized for its luminous, multi-tonal blooms and exceptional vigor, making it a standout "sparkler" in both exhibition rows and backyard cutting gardens.

• Color: Dark Blend (DB) / Raspberry. A vibrant, glowing raspberry pink that often features soft blush or creamy-gold "twinkling" tips. The color is deep and saturated at the center, radiating outward into a playful, shimmery finish that holds its brilliance throughout the season.
• Form: Formal Decorative (FD). A classic, full-bodied bloom with broad, flat petals that recurve slightly toward the stem in a neat, symmetrical arrangement. ADS Classification: 4013 (M FD DB).
• Bloom Size: Miniature (M). Perfectly sized blooms typically ranging from 3 to 4 inches (7.5–10 cm) in diameter.
• Height: Tall. An exceptionally vigorous grower that frequently reaches 5 to 6 feet (150–180 cm) tall, requiring sturdy staking to support its height.
• Performance: High-Yielding Cut Flower. One of the earliest varieties to bloom in the garden, it is a prolific producer of flowers on long, strong stems. Its "twinkling" presence and reliable productivity make it a favorite for florists looking for a pop of raspberry-toned texture.
