This heritage orange pompon variety is great for bouquets! 

Introduced by Harry Stredwick during the War II era, this pretty compact flower won RHS’s Victoria Medal of Honor.

Dense orange blooms go from lightly variegated with a kiss of peach in the center to more uniformly orange as weather cools.

Photos show the progression of color intensity change from mid summer to late summer and then fall.

Planting directions

After danger of frost has passed, plant dahlia tubers in loose, well draining soil amended with compost and a well rounded fertilizer. Tubers should be planted 2-5” deep.

Alternatively, start tubers indoors 4-5 weeks before last frost by planting in a pot with good quality potting soil. Plant outside after all danger of frost has passed.

Dahlias prefer full sun but will do well in a partial sun location as long as it is they are not crowded by taller plants.

This listing is for one dahlia tuber with one or more good eyes.

Please note that tuber sizes and shapes naturally vary from short and fat to long and skinny. Shape and size of the tuber is not an indicator of tuber quality or viability. We only send out tubers we would be happy to receive ourselves.
