Features of Species or Group:
  The pompon Dahlia got its name from the French because their similarity to the pompon on the capes of soldiers. Also known as the " Lilliputian Dahlia" they are entirely round, globe shaped with good double flowers which are closed at the back. Its strongest point, next to its beauty ofcourse, is its abundance of flowers. When properly maintained it flowers non stop during the last months of summer.

Features of Genus:
  Dahlias belong to the most popular plants because of their long flowering period and splendid flowers. Interestingly enough, this widely cultivated flower, with its many species, cultivars and varieties, had to be discovered twice. The first description was written in 1615 in a series of books about animals and plants from "New Spain" (modern day Mexico), where the Aztecs cultivated them as ornamental garden plants. Yet it wasn't until 1789 that the director of the Royal Gardens in Madrid received some seeds from the Spanish director of the Botanical Garden in Mexico. Two years later, he described a half double, purple variety and named it after a Swedish botanist, Andreas Dahl. Many experiments followed and many species and cultivars were developed, giving Dahlias the popularity and wide spread admiration they enjoy today.
