The listing, Dahlia ' Pompon ' - 20 seeds has ended.

Dahlia 'Pompone' is a tall-growing dahlia mix producing pompom flowers in a range of different colours, they are ideal for making a splash of colour in the border or bedding display during the summer months.
The blooms are produced in abundance and look superb in the vase as well as great border plants. They are particularly useful for filling in gaps that appear as other plants go to seed. Perfect little balls of colour that you just can’t stop yourself touching!

Dahlias are straightforward to grow from seed. They will flower 12 weeks from sowing until first frosts. Seed-raised Dahlias flower well especially towards the autumn. They are generally treated as annuals though they produce a tuber to survive the winter, which can be dug up, stored and replanted the following year.


Sowing: Sow in spring for flowers 12 weeks from sowing.
Fill cells or pots with a free-draining, seed sowing compost, and stand in water so that the compost is thoroughly damp, then allow to drain. It is advisable at this point to use a suitable fungicide prior to sowing, to prevent damping-off disease (available from any garden centre)
Sow the seeds onto the surface of the compost and cover with a layer of vermiculite. Cover the trays with clear or milky polythene to maintain humidity, until the first seedlings are visible. Keep moist at all times.
Germination takes around 7 days at 18 to 20°C (65 to 68°F)
