Dahlia ‘Pompone’ is an eye-catching half-hardy tuber that flowers from July until October. It generates bundles of domed heads that feature contrasting colours of peach, ruby red and yellow. They stand proudly amongst lengthy green stems and make incredible cut flowers! Great for adding a vintage feel to cottage and exotic gardening schemes, why not also try planting this Dahlia in a pretty patio pot to add some extra interest and colour with its tropical looking flowers. Be sure to plant in a sunny position where it can make a dramatic appearance and add some architectural height and texture to those dull flower beds. Watch it flourish to a height of 120cm, along with a spread of 60cm. Every garden needs a splash of dahlias! Use this super value mix in borders for that classic touch. Try growing your own bouquets of exhibitionquality dahlias. Plant Dahlia tubers outdoors in April after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist well drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well rotted manure or compost. Plant tubers at a depth of 15cm (6″) and water well. Alternatively, start tubers into growth in pots of compost in a frost free greenhouse. Transplant them into their final positions outdoors in June.
