Her full, rounded blooms are covered in soft raspberry-pink petals, each one finished with delicate golden tips that seem to sparkle in the sunlight. The result is a sophisticated blend of berry pink and warm gold that gives every bloom a subtle glow. At around 3.5 inches, she is the perfect size for bouquets—large enough to make an impact while still blending beautifully with other flowers.

A Bit of History

RM Raspberry Twinkle was hybridized by Hailey Sly of River Merle Farm and introduced in 2025, making her one of the newer additions to the RM collection.

Gardeners quickly took notice of her unusual coloring and exceptional garden performance. The raspberry petals radiate outward into a beautifully symmetrical bloom, while the golden tips create the signature "twinkle" that inspired her name. She is also an early bloomer and is known for producing abundant blooms throughout the season on tall plants.

For flower farmers and serious dahlia collectors, RM Raspberry Twinkle offers something particularly special: a distinctive color combination, strong stems, excellent cutting potential, and the excitement of growing a newer River Merle Farm introduction.
