Pompon · 1.5–2"PinkNick Gitts (2005)United States
Zippity Do Da was bred in United States by Nick Gitts in 2005. Teeny taffy-pink pompons open with a whisper of lavender at the center and hold their globe shape from bud to fully open. Plants push out a relentless stream of stems from midsummer through frost, making this one of the most productive small-flowered dahlias in a cutting garden. Zippity Do Da is a pompon dahlia that opens 1.5–2" blooms in pink.
