Rocco

Rocco is a charming pompon dahlia (ADS 6208, P, PR) admired for its petite, perfectly rounded purple blooms. The 1-inch flowers form tight, symmetrical spheres that add refined structure and rich colour to both garden beds and arrangements.

Despite its small bloom size, Rocco is impressively productive. Plants grow to approximately 3.5 feet in height and produce abundant stems throughout the season. Its compact pompon form makes it particularly useful for bouquet work, adding texture and depth without overpowering larger focal flowers.

Colour intensity may vary slightly throughout the season due to temperature fluctuations, with cooler conditions often deepening the purple tones.

Its saturated purple pairs beautifully with blush, antique cream, muted plum, soft peach, and deeper wine shades. It works especially well in layered romantic palettes and textural mixed arrangements.
