Pompon Dahlia Rocco

Pompon Dahlia Rocco

For truly unique garden spaces and vivacious cut-flower arrangements, make sure to include a generous planting of Rocco dahlias. Decorative-type blooms are petite and spherical—hence the whimsical name, Pompon—and attract plenty of attention with their brilliant beetroot-purple hue. Robust 40" plants with rich green foliage produce the 1½" round blooms that appear as bright polka dots in the landscape. Gardeners will enjoy months of fantastic blooms in their feature beds or cutting gardens.
