{"product_id":"rivers-watermelon","title":"River's Watermelon","description":"\u003cp\u003eRiver’s Watermelon is a distinguished BB-BA-LB\/L (Small Ball, Light Blend\/Lavender) dahlia introduced in 2021 by Eugene Kenyon of River’s WB Dahlias (USA). The 4-6 inch blooms form a precise, symmetrical sphere with soft lavender tones blending into lighter pastel highlights. Its colour reads as a luminous lavender blend rather than a flat purple, giving it depth and sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis award-winning variety grows to approximately 4 feet in height and produces strong stems with excellent bloom consistency. The structured ball form and refined colouring make River’s Watermelon particularly valuable for exhibition growing and high-end bouquet work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts soft lavender tones pair beautifully with blush, antique cream, pale peach, muted plum, and soft mauve shades.
