Knee Deep
Pickup currently unavailable at Fox Cottage Farm
Knee Deep is a dahlia that brings texture and movement into the garden with its beautifully feathered, laciniated petals. The blooms open in rich cherry-red tones — sometimes showing softer lavender undertones depending on the season — giving each flower a slightly wild, expressive personality. With its fringed edges and airy structure, this variety adds a touch of drama without feeling heavy.
In the field, Knee Deep is known for its height and generous blooming habit, sending up plenty of long stems perfect for cutting. It’s a wonderful choice for growers who love dahlias with a little edge — something sculptural, a bit unexpected, and incredibly eye-catching both in the garden and in floral work.
Form: Lacinated
Height: 5ft
Bloom Size: 4-6”
