RM Electrical – Laciniated (Fimbriated) Dahlia
Breeder: Roger and Mary Walker, River Merle Farm
RM Electrical is a high-voltage masterpiece from the renowned breeding program of Roger and Mary Walker at River Merle Farm. This variety is famous for its "laciniated" or fimbriated form, where the petal tips are split and fringed, giving the bloom a jagged, "electric" texture that looks like a controlled explosion of color.
Color Profile: A striking bicolor featuring bright, sunny yellow centers that blend into fiery orange and red tips. The color combination is reminiscent of a flickering flame.
Unique Form: The fringed petals provide incredible movement and a "shaggy" appearance that adds a wild, artistic flair to arrangements.
Bloom Size: Features medium-sized 5" blossoms, a perfect scale for bold, textural bouquets.
Plant Height: Reaches a reliable 4' tall on sturdy stems that support the weight of its heavy, fringed blooms.
Garden Performance: A vigorous grower that provides a constant supply of high-contrast flowers. It is particularly eye-catching when planted against dark-foliage plants.
