KA's Rhubarb is a formal decorative dahlia that opens 4–6" blooms in orange. KA's Rhubarb opens in a pale custard that picks up a rhubarb flush toward the back of each petal, shifting warmth as the light changes through the day. The tightly layered blooms hold their round form well into autumn and arrive on strong stems that make garden cutting easy. It was bred in United States by Kristine Albrecht in 2025.

About KA's Rhubarb
A recent introduction (2025) that has begun appearing in commercial catalogues.
Growing KA's Rhubarb
Pinch early at four to five leaf nodes to encourage strong branching and multiply your stem count for the season. Water consistently once established, letting the soil surface dry slightly between sessions to protect tubers from rot. Give it a sunny spot with good air circulation and you will see blooms from midsummer through frost. Cut in the cool morning hours for the best conditioning results.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
