Karma Corona Purple Dahlia

Karma Corona Purple is a named Dahlia × hybrida cut-flower selection listed by Syngenta under product code 70089143. The cultivar name and code distinguish it from the separately listed Karma Corona Pink and Karma Corona Yellow Bronze Bicolor. ## Garden profile The official [Syngenta Americas cut-flower assortment](https://online.flippingbook.com/view/516819767/1/) records the exact Corona Purple selection and code. Dahlias bring showy flowers to sunny borders and are widely used as cut flowers; this selection’s breeder listing places it in a cut-flower range. The cultivar name preserves the breeder’s purple color selection; use it as a cut flower and in a sunny border with other dahlias. ## Growing and use For garden placement, choose a sunny, sheltered position with fertile soil that stays moist but drains freely. Water in hot, dry weather and remove spent flowers to encourage continued bloom. Dahlias are tender in freezing conditions; in cold-winter regions, protect the plant or overwinter its tubers indoors. These are general dahlia-growing recommendations from the [RHS guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/dahlia/growing-guide). ## Cutting and display As a cut-flower dahlia, stems can be cut for arrangements as blooms develop. Syngenta advises harvesting Karma flowers at a tighter bud stage for better vase life; Syngenta describes a mix of decorative, water lily, and cactus forms across the series. ## Maintenance Water during dry spells, deadhead regularly, and provide frost protection where winters freeze. Follow the [RHS dahlia care guidance](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/dahlia/growing-guide) for planting, ongoing care, and overwintering.
