DAHLIA VARIABILIS 'POMPONE DOUBLE MIX'

Description

Give your garden a vibrant splash of late summer colour with Dahlia 'Pompone Mixed'. The small but perfectly formed, ball shaped flowers in double form are in bright solid colours in a wide band of shades. The tall stems of this decorative Dahlia add height and structure to the back of borders, and are perfect for cutting for your own bouquets. The first year will provide a very economical collection of these delightful blooms and each plant will produce tubers that can be carefully lifted at the end of the season for storing and re-planting the following year.

Sowing Advice

For best results, sow immediately onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. They can be sown at any time, and germination can sometimes be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. We sow most seeds in an unheated greenhouse and wait for natural germination, as many seeds have built-in dormancy mechanisms, often waiting for natural spring germination, hence giving them a full season of growth.
