Pompon · 2.4–3.1"Yellow1926Netherlands

Golden Scepter is a pompon dahlia that opens 2.4–3.1" blooms in yellow. On a warm summer morning your garden fills with glowing golden spheres perched on tall, straight stems, one after another, all season long. Golden Scepter's tightly inrolled petals form near-perfect orbs that deepen from buttery yellow to rich gold at the center, producing blooms in extraordinary abundance. It is a 1926 Netherlands introduction.

About Golden Scepter

A pre-war dahlia with more than 100 years of continuous catalogue history.

Growing Golden Scepter

Plant in a sunny spot with rich, well-draining soil and give your plant plenty of room to reach its full, upright height. Pinch out the growing tip early in the season to encourage branching and a generous flush of stems. Deadhead regularly to keep your plant producing blooms right through until frost. Stake your plant when young, as the tall growth can become top-heavy in wind. In cold climates, lift your tubers after the first frost and store them somewhere cool and dry over winter.

Spacing
Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking
Staking recommended once buds set
