Pompom Dahlia Snowflake
D4212
Description
A delightfully productive pompom dahlia, ‘Snowflake’ bears a plethora of snowball-like, pure-white blooms over a long flowering season.
The neat and elegant flowers are ideal for cutting - loved by florists for wedding work, thanks to their versatile size and neutral colour.
A compact, flawless honeycomb arrangement of tiny petals forms each golf ball sized flower. Strong stems hold the heads upright. Keep deadheading and cutting flowers throughout the season to ensure a flurry of fresh blooms.
Care Guide
To grow Dahlias, select a sunny spot with well-drained soil, and dig a 30cm deep hole. Plant the tuber 10cm below the soil surface, spacing multiple tubers 45cm apart, or 90cm for taller varieties. Water consistently, maintaining moist but not saturated soil and protect new shoots from slug damage with eco-friendly methods. Feed plants during the blooming period with liquid plant food. Provide support for stems which will reach 60-90cm tall depending on variety. Enjoy spectacular blooms from late summer until first frosts. Cut or deadhead the flowers regularly for a continually flourishing display. Once blooming has finished, cut back foliage before lifting, drying and storing the tubers in peat-free substitute, in a frost-free place until the following spring.
