RM Watermelon

🦄

RM Watermelon Dahlia is a striking formal decorative variety introduced by River Merle Farm in 2023. 

Characteristics:

Form: Formal Decorative (FD). This means it has a structured, high-petal count, and symmetrical appearance.

Color: Jewel-toned Watermelon or Pinky-Peach petals with a vibrant green center (or "eye"). The green center is its distinguishing feature and is said to look like the rind on a watermelon.

Bloom Size: Miniature, typically $3$ to $4$ inches (approx. $7.5$ to $10$ cm).

Height: Shorter, around $3$ to $3.5$ feet (approx. $90$ to $107$ cm).

Performance:

• Vigorous and Prolific: It is praised as a vigorous, floriferous cultivar with a strong will to live, making it an excellent producer for market growers.
• Unique Design Element: The vibrant green center is highly distinctive.
• Cut Flower Quality: It is noted for having long, sturdy, bouquet-friendly stems and a long vase life.
• Harvesting Tip: The green eye may become slightly less harsh in cooler weather. The hybridizer notes a preference for harvesting it at an earlier bloom stage for the best look.
