Karma Corona Red Dahlia

Karma Corona Red (70089130) is a red-flowered Dahlia × hybrida in Syngenta’s Karma series, bred for cut-flower production. Its upright growth and sturdy stems suit a sunny cutting row or a bold position in a mixed border. ## Garden Use The Karma series is selected for flowers that can be cut while still at a tighter bud stage, which helps extend vase life after harvest. Corona Red is listed with the series’ 18–24 in. spread and 36–48 in. height, so allow room for an upright, substantial plant. The Karma series spans decorative, waterlily, and cactus flower forms, offering different shapes across its named selections. See the [Syngenta Karma catalog page](https://online.flippingbook.com/view/636494595/33/) for the exact Corona Red name and code. ## Growing Choose full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Keep moisture steady during active growth, especially in dry weather, while avoiding waterlogged ground. Dahlias flower through the warm season; in colder climates, frost protection for the tubers is important. The [RHS dahlia guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/dahlia/growing-guide) covers planting and seasonal care. ## Maintenance Cut flowers regularly or remove spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Taller stems may benefit from support, particularly where wind or heavy rain can bend them. After frost damages the foliage, lift and store tubers in a frost-free place where winters are cold.
