I donāt usually like āfavoritesā.
It is hard for me to choose a favorite ANYTHING.
I donāt have a fave color, book, child or flower! š
With that said, I do have a list of favorite dahlias that I grow.
I canāt choose one, or even ten, but I do have some that are just perfect to work with and some that arenāt. Usually, if a dahlia is difficult to work with, than I canāt grow it! NO DIVAS ALLOWED!
Still, I have truly LOVED the Cafe au Lait dahlia for years.
Sheās a bit of a pain to work with, but she has exquisite, warm, buff-blush color and these ruffly, romantic petals.
CAL is pretty, but is lacking so much when it comes to floral design. She has HORRIBLE vase life, is prone to bruising and has weak stems and a weak joint where the bloom meets the stem. Not great problems when doing wedding work! So, Iāve been looking for a replacement.
In 2023 I grew KAās Mocha Maya for the first time.
WOW WOW WOW!!!
Mocha Maya shines everywhere that CAL fails.ļæ¼
She has that same warm blush, romantic feel that I need, the ruffly romantic petals, incredible vase life (7 days), she doesnāt bruise and wrinkle and her stems are about as long and strong as Iāve seen in a dahlia.
Sheās becoming (shall I say it??š³) a FAVORITE!!!
I donāt think that I will ever grow CAL again, and I honestly wonāt miss it.
KAās Mocha Maya has stolen my heart!
She will be available as a cutting in our April sale!
Canāt wait to grow this beauty again this season!ā„ļøššš«¶š¼
