Description

Ball and pompon dahlias are highly sought-after for their inexhaustible production of neat, spherical blooms.

This carefully chosen collection has been brought together to bring you some of the very best varieties available, in a stunning range of colours which are all perfect for cutting.

Start the tubers off in pots of compost in a greenhouse, or sheltered area in April and plant out after the danger of frost has passed.  The plants will reward you with armfuls of delightful blooms until late autumn.

Plant towards the back of the border for a long-lasting show of spectacular colour.

Care Guide

To grow Dahlias, select a sunny spot with well-drained soil, and dig a 30cm deep hole. Plant the tuber 10cm below the soil surface, spacing multiple tubers 45cm apart, or 90cm for taller varieties. Water consistently, maintaining moist but not saturated soil and protect new shoots from slug damage with eco-friendly methods. Feed plants during the blooming period with liquid plant food. Provide support for stems which will reach 60-90cm tall depending on variety. Enjoy spectacular blooms from late summer until first frosts. Cut or deadhead the flowers regularly for a continually flourishing display. Once blooming has finished, cut back foliage before lifting, drying and storing the tubers in peat-free substitute, in a frost-free place until the following spring.
