Dahlia 'Zippity Do Da'

Have a wonderful day, every day through summer with Dahlia 'Zippity Do Da'! This undeniably cheerful pompom dahlia mixes that playfulness with a simple carefree attitude, producing delightful pops of flowers, each perfectly-placed lilac-pink petal defined by n ombre to white. These dainty pompons are just 5-6cm across, yet are produced in great profusion and over many weeks from summer through to the first frosts. And who wouldn’t be happy with up to three months of Dahlia 'Zippity Do Da'? My-oh-my!  

Dahlia 'Zippity Do Da' makes a sturdy and upright plant, about 75cm in height, ideal for the mid-tier of flower borders, and not too tall for a decent-sized container, so you can grow it on patios, terraces or balconies. It’s also great as a cut flower, having the typical pompom dahlia’s excellent staying power and resistance to fading. All dahlias thrive on a regime of good watering and feeding, enjoying a rich soil and a dose of sunshine.

'Zippity Do Da' dahlias perform brilliantly as garden plants, producing colour in the height of summer through to the fading days of autumn, when we value it most. Though they are not hardy, their tubers can either be stored over-winter to protect them from frosts, or in milder climates left outside covered in a good, thick mulch. With this treatment, they can be enjoyed for years to come.
