Kristine Albrecht of Santa Cruz Dahlias is a dahlia breeder in California. Her dahlia varieties all start with the prefix "KA's." Her most recent introductions are offered by Stonehouse Dahlias & Micro Flower Farm. Both of these suppliers have mailing lists on their websites. Kristine and her husband Brion have authored two books. "DAHLIAS: Seed to Bloom," is a 278 page illustrated guide to growing and caring for dahlias. It covers everything a dahlia grower needs to know to grow from tubers, cuttings, or seeds. "Dahlia Breeding for the Farmer-Florist and the Home Gardener" is the definitive book on breeding new dahlia varieties through seeds. Both books are available on Amazon.com.
