Karma Naomi Mahogany-Red Dahlia

Karma Naomi Mahogany-Red (70089129) is an upright Dahlia × hybrida with the Karma series’ cut-flower focus and vigorous growth. Syngenta identifies the selection as red and lists it for late spring, summer, and fall flowering. ## Garden Use Its rich red color and 36–48 in. garden height make it suitable for a sunny border or a productive cutting bed; allow 18–24 in. of width. The [Syngenta product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70089129) confirms the exact Naomi name and code, full-sun exposure, and zones 9a–11a. Karma stems are grown for cutting and can be harvested at a tighter bud stage for improved vase life. Across the series, flower forms include decorative, waterlily, and cactus types. ## Growing Choose fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Water during dry periods, keeping the soil evenly moist but not saturated. The [RHS dahlia guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/dahlia/growing-guide) offers general advice on planting and tuber care. ## Maintenance Cut blooms or remove faded flowers to support continued flowering. Stake tall plants where wind or rain may make stems lean. In colder climates, lift and store tubers after frost damages the foliage.
