'Small World' Dahlia Tubers

Small World: Pom Pom Dahlia Tubers

"Small World" is a cute little milky white "buttonhole" pompon dahlia with robust stems. As the season progresses, the petal tips acquire subtle burgundy flecks.

It is wonderful for cutting, especially when mixed with large-flowered dahlias in darker colours.

Small World has excellent weather tolerance, flowering profusely until the first frosts. At a compact 1m tall, it goes well in a container and the small flower heads are fairly wind resistant for a dahlia.

Growing Small World Dahlias

All dahlias do best in deep rich soil with good drainage in a sunny spot. If it is windy they will need staking. They are greedy, thirsty plants so will need watering in dry spells, and they will always flower that little bit better if there is a bit of soluble food in the watering can once every couple of weeks.

It is generally more convenient to put support stakes in at planting time, rather than leaving it until there is foliage in the way.
