White Flower Farm Dahlia Karma Corona

Yes, 'Karma Corona' was specifically bred for the cut flower market. Its stems are exceptionally strong and sturdy, which helps the blooms hold their shape well in arrangements.

Cactus-form dahlias feature petals that are rolled or twisted, creating a spiky, exotic look rather than the flat, layered appearance of traditional decorative dahlias. This adds significant texture and visual interest to both the garden and bouquets.

Absolutely. Because they reach a manageable height of 36 inches, they perform well in large containers, provided the pot has good drainage and receives adequate sunlight.

You don't have to treat them as annuals if you are willing to do a little extra work. While they are only hardy in zones 8-10, you can dig up the tubers in the fall after the first frost, store them in a cool, dry place over the winter, and replant them in the spring.

For the best results, plant them in a spot that gets full sun to partial shade. While they can tolerate some shade, they will produce the most vibrant, prolific blooms with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.
