Description

Soft pink pompom flowers come one after the other, after the other—with many all at once! Blooms start appearing in mid-summer and continue until the onset of frosty weather. Each Dahlia 'Wizard of Oz' bloom is made up of layers of silky, inwardly-curved petals, forming a near-perfect sphere. Sturdy stems provide excellent support, and provide this dahlia with its iconic bobbing habit in the breeze. These blooms are accompanied by, and set just above, the lush green foliage. Even better, the flowers last well after they have been cut, and look great in a vase!

The delicate colouring of pompon Dahlia 'Wizard of Oz' makes it easy to mix with other plants—and particularly other dahlias – and it looks especially good with flowers of other pastel shades, as well as white and green. Try them also with stronger pink and purple tones.  

Dahlias are easy to grow and simply require well-drained soil and a sunny position. However, for optimum results, it is a good idea to dig in some well-rotted manure or compost prior to planting, and topping off with general purpose fertiliser after planting.

Useful information

    • Dahlia 'Wizard of Oz' is half hardy, which means that it should be kept frost free over winter and during spring.

    • For best results, start your dahlia tubers in temporary pots in a
      greenhouse in March or April to grow on to transplant outside later in the season—this will give them a head start.

    • Alternatively, you can plant the Dahlia 'Wizard of Oz' tubers directly outside in May.

    • Plant with the stump of last year's stem facing upwards. The tuber should be fully submerged but with the stump just below the soil surface.

    • Plant one tuber per 8-10" pot if growing on during spring. When
      planting outside, space the tubers around 30-50cm apart from each other. Compact varieties don’t need so much space.

    • Water-in thoroughly after planting and continue to water regularly once in full growth, but only when the soil appears to be nearly dry.

Dahlias in 60 seconds

Dahlias like full sun and a free-draining soil, and should be lifted and stored in winter, or at least protected with peat or straw. Dahlia flowers can range from 5 to 25cm in diameter and those magnificent larger-flowering dahlias might appreciate a little extra support with canes!
