KA® Rosie Jo my favorite dahlia of 2024. It’s a KA® variety, which means it was hybridized by Kristine Albright of Santa Cruz Dahlias® so it comes with a higher price tag than most other dahlias — but my god — she’s a stunner.
She has long, strong stems that churn out waves of blooms all season long. The dark and smokey raspberry blooms usually are between 3 and 5 inches wide.
My favorite thing: The color and petal count on each bloom are phenomenal. This was also one of my most productive varieties that I grew.
Bloom size: Medium - 3” to 4”
Height: Tall — about 4’ to 5’ tall
Tuber rating: 10/10 - produces a lot of decent tubers
