The KA’s Crème Brûlée dahlia is a stunning and sophisticated variety introduced by Kristine Albrecht of Santa Cruz Dahlias in 2025. It is celebrated for its rare, "dessert-like" color palette and extraordinary vigor, quickly becoming a top choice for florists and wedding designers. Color: Caramel / Cream (BR). A unique, glowing blend of soft caramel-to-cream petals brushed with golden burnt sienna tones. The blooms feature a striking raspberry reverse on the petals, adding depth and a "blender" quality to arrangements. Form: Formal Decorative (FD). Features elegantly layered, broad petals that form a full, lush flower head with a clean, tight center. Bloom Size: Small (BB). Blooms are typically 4 to 4.5 inches (10–12 cm) in diameter, offering a refined and versatile size for bouquets. Height: Tall. A remarkably vigorous plant that grows between 4 and 5 feet (120–150 cm) tall. Performance: Exceptionally Vigorous Workhorse. Noted as one of the most prolific bloomers in the garden, it produces an abundance of flowers on long, strong stems throughout the season. It is praised for its "monster" vigor, shooting up and multiplying faster than many other cultivars.
