Dahlia - Brilliant Eye

Taken on August 2nd, 2008 at Volunteer Park Conservatory in the Emerald City (Seattle, WA).

The Pom Pom Dahlia Brilliant Eye, 'Dahlia', a spring planted tuberous root, produces small, round balls of tightly rolled bright red petals about 2 inches in size. The Pom Pom Dahlia take their name from their unusual tight balls of tiered, rounded petals. Dahlia's are ideal for cut flowers, borders, containers, and massings. They tend to bloom for long periods, and few plants offer as much variety and showy flowers as the Dahlia. They do best in well drained, humus rich soils.
