Pompom dahlias

We've just cut our first dahlia...


We've never grown the pompous before only admired them at flower shows. Admittedly a bouquet of them would be nice but one will do for now...



We need a bit of colour to see us through the grimness that appears to be our summertime...



At least we don't have to do any watering...

    I grew pompom dahlias from seed last year but they didn't pompom!

    Very pretty!
    We are in I guess a heat wave and so hot I have to water at least twice a day.
    My dahlias didn't last long, I guess because of the heat.
    But sorry it is better than too much rain.
    Nice garden!

    You did a great job with this pompom!. It was well maintained. I guess I didn't start mine in the right season and it barely stayed beyond 2 months
