RF Greta is a dahlia of extraordinary presence. Her large, lavish blooms glow in an intense, saturated crimson-raspberry, softened by an elusive lilac haze that seems almost iridescent. The effect is remarkably dimensional—shifting subtly with the light and giving Greta a depth and luminosity that photographs can never quite capture.
Tall, sturdy plants produce long, dark stems that provide a striking contrast to the brilliant blooms, making her an exceptional choice for the cutting garden and the vase alike. She has the drama of a statement flower, yet her unusual colouring gives her an almost mysterious elegance.
A magnificent dahlia with enormous blooms, dark stems and an iridescent lilac haze—a flower that is even more beautiful in person than the camera can convey.
