R. Mona

R Mona is a luminous small waterlily dahlia distinguished by its vibrant coral-red blooms softly feathered with blush undertones. The 5-6 inch flowers feature broad, gently layered petals that create a graceful waterlily silhouette, with lighter bases that add movement and depth as the blooms mature.

As the flowers age, the saturated coral tones soften slightly, revealing warmer pink nuances that enhance their dimensional quality. This subtle shift makes R Mona especially versatile in bouquet work.

Plants grow to approximately 3-3.5 feet in height with a compact, balanced habit. Strong stems and abundant bloom production make this variety an excellent performer for cutting from early summer through late fall.

Its coral-red tones pair beautifully with blush, antique cream, warm peach, muted plum, and soft apricot shades. It transitions effortlessly from bright summer palettes into richer late-season arrangements.
