Well, if these aren’t the sweetest things?! Dahlia Buttercup Pompon stole the show for us, as this tiny, one inch bloom in the softest shade of yellow held their own among larger, more ostentatious flowers. In fact, gardeners love to use Buttercup as a lovely accent in the dahlia garden, but we suggest letting them have center stage by planting a border all to their own. Growing just three feet high, we loved how this petite powerhouse produced gobs of blossoms on strong stems and stole our hearts in the process.

  • • Prolific bloomer midsummer through fall
  • • Smaller stature creates a wonderful border
  • • Dahlias love moist, well-draining soils
