Semi-Cactus · 4–6"PinkFranklin (2003)United States
Bristol Karma is a semi-cactus dahlia that opens 4–6" blooms in pink. Bristol Karma opens into full, spiky orbs of warm pinky-peach, a color that sits comfortably between pink and coral and softens as the bloom matures. It is a prolific producer that keeps branching through the season, sending up stems in rapid succession and rarely pausing between flushes. It was bred in United States by Franklin in 2003.

Growing Bristol Karma
Pinch when the seedling reaches four leaf pairs to encourage strong branching and higher stem counts. Stake at planting time since the plants push to four feet and benefit from early support. Water at the base to keep foliage dry through the long growing season. Cut stems in the early morning once the back two petals have fully opened to extend indoor longevity.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
