Manoa Dahlia

Manoa is a rich, moody formal decorative dahlia prized for its velvety blooms in deep burgundy to chocolate-red tones. Paired with dark stems and foliage, this variety brings depth and contrast to both garden plantings and floral work.

Blooming at 3–5 inches, Manoa produces slightly flatter flower heads with softly rounded petals, giving it a full yet refined look. Plants reach 3–4 feet tall and deliver strong stems that make this variety especially valuable for cutting.

Often chosen as a replacement for Karma Choc, Manoa offers similar deep coloring with more reliable tuber performance and overall vigor. It’s a dependable producer that holds up well through the season, making it a favorite for growers who want consistent output.

For best vase life, harvest blooms just as they begin to open—cutting slightly tighter helps prevent petal drop while allowing the flowers to continue opening beautifully off the plant.

Why growers love Manoa dahlias

  • Deep chocolate-red to burgundy blooms with a velvety finish

  • Dark stems and foliage add contrast in arrangements

  • Reliable tuber production compared to Karma Choc

  • Strong stems and consistent output for cutting

  • Unique flatter form with rounded petals

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

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.
