Dahlia Rocco

Rocco Dahlias have been winning hearts for decades and it's no wonder! This little character has almost perfectly spherical pompom made up of layers of silky, inwardly curved petals. The symmetry of their shape is complemented by the intense colour. However Rocco is a small-flowered dahlia so for something larger you might want to browse the rest of our range of dahlias for sale.

As with many dahlias, because their colouring can be very complex, the blooms of Rocco dahlias have been described in many ways - as fuchsia, magenta, beetroot, purple, lilac, reddish-purple and burgundy. This may be because the flowers start the season off at the more purple end of the spectrum, moving towards fuchsia as the days shorten.

Each pompom is only 5cm across but they are produced in profusion, so size is made up for in quantity. The purple-flushed sturdy stems are good for windier gardens and it's a delight to see their little heads bobbing in the breeze.

Using Rocco Dahlias in your Garden

Although a cottage garden classic, Rocco fits in well with contemporary planting schemes too, thanks to its architectural flower form. It will be happy in mixed beds and pots, as long as those thirsty dahlia tubers have rich soil and plenty of water.

The wonderfully vibrant colour of Rocco dahlias means they mix well with pale pinks, purples and pastels, as well as hues from the hotter end of the spectrum.

Like most dahlias, it makes an excellent cut flower for vases and arrangements but Rocco's small size means it is great for table vases where space is tight.

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
