Sandia Ruthie

Sandia Ruthie is a watermelon-coral stunner introduced in 2024 by Steve and Sandy Boley of Birch Bay Dahlias (US). 

Characteristics:

Form: Stellar (ST) — Petals are long, narrow, slightly recurved, and often creased, giving the bloom a unique, slightly spiky, star-like appearance.

Color: Watermelon-Coral / Dark Pink (DP) — The color is often described as a vibrant blend of rose lipstick pink and peachy/coral streaking, sometimes fading to creamy peach tips as the bloom ages.

Bloom Size: Medium (BB/M) to Small (M) — Typically measures around 5 inches in diameter, which puts it in the small to medium range.

Height: Medium to Tall — Grows robustly to about 3.5 to 5 feet (1.1–1.5 meters) tall.

Performance:

• Known for being an extremely prolific bloomer with strong, long stems, making it an excellent cut flower. It won The Derrill W. Hart medal in 2024.
• One of the earliest bloomers in the garden. Exceptionally prolific with an open habit that encourages airflow and styling ease. Excellent tuber producer—ideal for growers and designers alike.
