25 Pompom Dahlia Seeds - Perennial Flower Seeds for Planting

Pompom Dahlia is a beloved perennial flower known for its perfectly round, ball-shaped blooms that add a touch of formal elegance to any garden. Each flower is composed of tightly rolled petals that create a dense, spherical pompon, typically in a range of vibrant colors. These dahlias are excellent for cutting, making them a favorite for fresh bouquets and floral arrangements. They also attract pollinators and can be grown in borders, beds, or containers.

Growing Pompom Dahlia from seeds is a rewarding way to enjoy these stunning flowers. The plants are tender perennials that can be grown as annuals in cooler climates or lifted and stored over winter in colder zones. With proper care, they will produce an abundance of blooms from midsummer until the first frost.

Planting & Care

Sow Pompom Dahlia seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds into the surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature of 65-75°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots. Harden off the plants gradually before moving them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Plant dahlias in a sunny location with rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow good air circulation. Water regularly, providing about 1 inch of water per week. Pinch out the growing tips when plants are about 6 inches tall to encourage bushier growth. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continuous flowering. In colder zones, dig up tubers after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place for winter.
