    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Pompon) - Frank Holmes

    The flowers that grew from the bulbs I received are pale pink and a dinner plate style. They were so far from a pom pom shape and this striking color shown in these images that they don't support the theme of the bed they're located in.

    This little guy came up about 6 inches and then promptly withered and died. I never got any flowers.
