RM Ursula Dahlia tuber

Limit 1 per customer

Meet RM Ursula, a bold and captivating 2026 introduction from River Merle Dahlias that brings a sense of drama and depth to the garden. With rich purple blooms that seem to shimmer in the light, RM Ursula is the kind of dahlia that draws your eye from across the garden.

Standing at 4.5 feet tall, this striking formal decorative produces 3.5–4 inch blooms with an elegant layered form and a deep, luxurious color palette. While subtle white-tipped petals can appear, the true magic of Ursula is the intensity of its purple tones and the way each bloom commands attention.

I first noticed RM Ursula’s presence when I shared a bouquet with a neighbor. Among all the flowers, it was Ursula that immediately caught her eye — a reminder that some dahlias have a quality that makes people stop and ask, “What flower is that?”

Perfect for the garden or as a dramatic focal flower in bouquets, RM Ursula brings richness, elegance, and a little bit of mystery wherever it grows.
