Pom Pom Dahlias have the smallest blooms of dahlia types that are about the size of a golf ball. Adorable little round flowers with petals going all the way back to the stem. These small, double flowers have an open centre and are globe-shaped with rolled petals that curve inwards. Petals are usually blunt at the tips and are often perfectly symmetrical in their arrangement. Beautiful in bouquets or as patio plantings with vibrant shades of pinks, yellows, and oranges. Usually grow to about 90 cm tall.
Dahlias thrive in full sun to part shade and are ideal for pots and containers. They need around six hours of sun daily, with morning sun being ideal. They typically bloom 3-4 months after planting and can flower for months with regular deadheading. These plants are excellent for gardens, featuring long flowering periods, lush foliage, and a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes. Dahlia flowers are great for cutting and last well in vases. Cutting flowers in the morning and taking at least two leaves per stem encourages more blooms and bushy growth.
Plant your dahlias in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil, and mix in well-rotted manure before planting. Plant tubers about 10 cm deep and stake tall varieties during planting to avoid root disturbance. Ensure good air circulation between plants. Dahlia tubers don't need to be lifted if the soil is well-drained and doesn't freeze. However, they should be dug up and divided every few years to maintain optimal flowering.
