Dahlia ‘Karma Choc’

Product Details

Dark velvety red—almost black at the center of the blooms—and equally dark, bold foliage make Dahlia ‘Karma Choc’ a hit from early summer until late fall. This member of the Karma bulb series from Holland was originally raised for the cut-flower trade, which accounts for its large and long-lasting flowers and very strong stems. The blossoms have just a hint of chocolate fragrance, too. No staking required. PP 18,422

Dahlias are native to Mexico and South America, and hold their display in reserve for mid- to late summer and early fall. The genus offers incredible diversity of color and form and we offer dozens of varieties every year. Dahlias are perennial but not cold hardy – tubers can overwinter in the ground in Zone 8 or warmer; in colder climates tubers can be dug after frost and easily stored indoors over winter. Please note – Dahlias should be planted outside once the danger of frost has passed and soil temperature has reached approximately 60°. We ship tubers beginning in late March and they can be stored until planting time if necessary. For more information on growing Dahlias, click on the Growing Guide tab on this page.
