Pompon Orange Dahlia | Orange Pompon Dahlia Tuber

Pompon Orange Dahlia is a bright summer-flowering dahlia grown for its neat, rounded orange blooms. The small globe-shaped flowers have tightly arranged petals, giving them the classic pompon form that looks excellent in garden beds, borders and cut-flower arrangements.

This variety is ideal for adding warm colour to summer and autumn displays. The compact, rounded blooms are especially useful for posies, vases and mixed dahlia bunches.

Supplied as a dry dahlia tuber, ready for planting once the soil has warmed.

Planting & Care

Plant dahlia tubers from September to December, once the risk of frost has passed.

Choose a position in full sun to light part shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Full sun gives the best flowering.

Plant the tuber with the growing eye facing upward and cover with around 5–10cm of soil. Avoid planting into cold, wet soil, as this can cause tubers to rot.

Water lightly after planting, then increase watering once shoots appear. Dahlias prefer regular moisture during active growth and flowering but do not like waterlogged soil.

Stake taller plants early if needed.

Flowering Time

Planting season: September to December
Flowering season: December to April, depending on climate and planting time

Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming.

Climate and Hardiness

Pompon Orange Dahlia suits warm-temperate, cool-temperate, subtropical and mild coastal Australian gardens.

Dahlias are not frost hardy. In frost-prone areas, plant after the last frost and lift tubers in winter if the soil becomes cold and wet.

In very hot climates, afternoon shade can help protect flowers from harsh summer heat.
