A.D.R. is, by far, my favorite bulb company. Top quality products at a fair price and the best customer service out there.
Chris, I speak nothing but the truth. A.D.R. IS my favorite bulb company and I've never ever had even the smallest problem that A.D.R. hasn't taken care of to my complete satisfaction.

Dahlia 'Rocco' is a pompon variety with small, perfectly rounded blooms in a rich purple hue. The flowers, reaching about 2 inches across, are densely packed with inward-curving petals, creating a charming, button-like effect. Growing on the shorter side, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, making it excellent for cutting gardens and compact spaces. Blooming from midsummer until frost, it provides a steady display of vibrant color. Hardy in USDA zones 8 to 11.

Planting: In spring, plant tubers 3 to 4 inches deep with the eye facing up, once soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Space 18 to 24 inches apart to accommodate their bushy habit and ensure good airflow.
Location: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is ideal. In hot climates, light afternoon shade helps prevent stress.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile loam with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or aged manure before planting.
Watering: Water deeply once or twice a week, keeping soil evenly moist but not soggy. Avoid watering until shoots emerge to prevent rot.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 8–10. In colder zones, lift tubers after frost and store in a cool, dry place.
Fertilization: Feed monthly with a balanced or low-nitrogen fertilizer. Overfeeding nitrogen can reduce bloom quality.
Pruning: Pinch back when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage branching. Deadhead regularly to promote continuous bloom.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, slugs, and powdery mildew. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Propagation: Divide tubers in spring, ensuring each has at least one viable eye.
