About this variety

The Pompom Dahlia Rocco is a stunning addition to any garden with its vibrant and intricate blooms. This variety of dahlia features tightly packed, spherical flowers in a deep shade of burgundy, creating a captivating focal point in any garden bed or floral arrangement.

Why We Like It:

  • Striking Burgundy Blooms: Rocco's rich burgundy pompom-like flowers make a bold and eye-catching statement.
  • Long-Lasting Beauty: These dahlias have a long vase life, making them ideal for cut flower arrangements.
  • Easy to Grow: Pompom Dahlias, including Rocco, are relatively low-maintenance and can thrive with proper care.

What to Know:

  • Sunlight Requirements: Plant Rocco in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade.
  • Soil and Watering: Well-draining soil is essential, and regular watering is required to keep the soil consistently moist.
  • Deadheading: Regular deadheading (removing spent blooms) encourages continuous flowering.
  • Tubers: Lift and store the dahlia tubers in a cool, dry place during the winter to protect them from frost.
  • Pest and Disease Control: Keep an eye out for pests like aphids and snails, and take preventative measures against powdery mildew.

Flower Colour: Burgundy

Flowering Months: July, August, September

Height and Spread: When fully grown, Pompom Dahlia Rocco typically reaches a height of 60-90 centimeters with a similar spread.

When to buy and plant

Buy summer-flowering bulbs in spring. Plant according to the variety’s instructions; tender varieties may need to be started under cover and planted out only after frost risk has passed.

Planting and growing

Choose a position and compost suited to the variety. Follow the pack for planting depth, spacing and whether it suits a container or a border.

Aftercare

Water as needed and feed according to the variety’s guidance. Some plants need support. Check whether bulbs or tubers should be lifted, dried and stored frost-free over winter.
