Plant Features

Rocco Dahlia: Meet the pint-sized powerhouse with big personality! Rocco Dahlia is a miniature marvel, featuring deep boysenberry-colored pompon blooms that are as striking as they are charming. Each perfectly rounded flower, just 2 inches across, is packed with tightly curving petals, creating a bold texture that’s impossible to ignore.

Compact yet prolific, Rocco grows to about 3 to 3.5 feet tall, making it ideal for borders, cutting gardens, or adding a pop of rich color to your landscape. Blooming continuously from midsummer to frost, this little stunner thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Whether you’re looking to elevate your floral arrangements or simply add a jewel-toned accent to your garden, Rocco Dahlia delivers elegance and style with ease.

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant tubers when soil reaches 60°F. Space them 4-6 inches deep with crown up and roots down

Soil Preparation:

  • - Prefers well-drained, fertile soil

Watering Specifics:

  • - Wait until green sprouts emerge from the soil before watering
  • - Then water deeply 2-3 times per week, and daily if plants are in containers

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use fertilizers with a lower nitrogen count; half the amount of nitrogen relative to phosphorus and potassium (lower N on NPK ratio)
  • - Fertilize every 2-3 weeks for containers and every 3-4 weeks for soil grown plants

Pruning and Training:

  • - Pinch back the main shoot to encourage branching and more flowers
  • - Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Inspect regularly for pests like aphids, slugs, and snails

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Protect plants from early frosts with mulch or fleece covers to extend the flowering season

Overwintering:

  • - After frost has turned the foliage brown, dig up tubers and store them over the winter
  • - Clean tubers and let them dry for a few days in a frost-free location, then store in cool, dry place in slightly moist peat moss or sand
