Dahlia (Dahlia Variabilis Pompon) - Don't forget Dahlia seeds! They are easy-to-grow and so versatile in the landscape. This variety with small double flowered pompons and a bright color mix is an asset to the border where they will create an outstanding focal point. The flowers are ideal for cutting as well. A single plant, grown from flower seed, will produce plenty of flowers for many bouquets. It's a classic cut flower with tubular looking petals. The individual blooms may be small, but they are perfectly formed and can be appreciated in a vase. The flowers also look wonderful in the border and contrast nicely with shrubs and ornamental grasses.
Grow Dahlia Variabilis in an area that has a minimum of six hours of sunlight. They thrive when the temperatures climb, and they will be profuse bloomers until the first frost. Well-draining, rich and fertile soil that is slightly acidic is a must for growing Dahlias. Sow the flower seed indoors 4 - 6 weeks before the last frost. Lightly cover the seeds with soil or peat moss only the thickness of the seed itself. Transplant seedlings outdoors after danger of frost has passed.
