KA’s™ Mocha Jake Dahlia
*We are a licensed seller for Santa Cruz dahlias. Click here to see the full list. More details below.
KA’s Mocha Jake is one of our favorites. The blooms are an almost-pink hue... a soft whisper of pale pink that blends seamlessly into any palette. This early bloomer is a top choice for weddings and special events.
One of the most prolific bloomers we grow, this variety delivers an abundance of flowers all season long. Its strong stems and long blooming period make it an absolute dream for cut flower enthusiasts. Whether you’re creating centerpieces or simply filling a vase, KA’s Mocha Jake is reliable, elegant, and generous.
Notably, Floret crowned this beauty their favorite from the trial patch in 2021 (link to her facebook post)—a well-deserved honor for a dahlia this exceptional.
Key Features:
- Subtle, pale pink blooms perfect for any setting
- Prolific and consistent bloomer
- Strong stems ideal for cutting and arranging
- Long blooming season
Licensed Sellers:
In early 2024, we partnered with Santa Cruz Dahlias to become a licensed seller of their exceptional dahlia varieties. As part of that agreement, we committed to returning 25% of each sale to Kristine Albrecht/Santa Cruz Dahlias to support the incredible work of the hybridizer.
While the agreement has since been revised to delay the effective date for royalty payments, we believe in honoring our original commitment. Fuirk Home will ensure that royalty payments from each sale of the current crop are sent to Santa Cruz Dahlias.

Customer Conduct Policy
Customer Conduct Policy
We’re all about respectful and constructive communication—it’s how we ensure a positive experience for everyone in our growing community. If you have feedback or concerns, please reach out to us directly so we can resolve the issue promptly and fairly. We’re here to help, and we take pride in finding solutions that work.
That said, we reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or void guarantees if a customer engages in disrespectful behavior. Over the years, we’ve seen too many growers face devastating challenges because of impatient or unfair actions, like airing complaints publicly on social media before giving the business a chance to address them.
Here’s the deal: If customer service matters are taken public before we’ve had a chance to help, we may choose to walk away and void guarantees. Likewise, if we see posts that are intentionally damaging or rude behavior toward other growers in the community, we reserve the right to decline your orders altogether.
We’re all in this together, so let’s keep it kind, constructive, and focused on growing beautiful things. 🌱
Grow & Care
Grow & Care
Dahlias are tender perennials, vigorous and fast growing. Dahlia tubers must be lifted for the winter from the ground in zones 7 and lower.
Planting:
Dahlias require soil that drains freely. Clay soil should be amended. Planting in raised beds can help alleviate moisture concerns. Tuber loss due to moisture rot is the leading cause for plant loss.
Plant 6" deep. Dig hole at least twice the width of your tuber to reduce soil compaction.
Label and stake your Dahlia at planting. Tubers do not need to be watered unless you are dealing with especially dry conditions. Whatever Mother Nature provides will be enough.
Care:
When Dahlias reach 10-12", the center tip should be pinched. This will create a bushier plan and yield more blooms. Without pinching, the plant will grow one tall, thick central stalk.
Your Dahlias will bloom from mid-summer until frost. Keep spent blooms trimmed and you'll enjoy repeat blooms all season long.
