The smoky-mauve to plum coloring with tan undertones is a rare find in dahlia catalogs, offering sophisticated tones that work beautifully in color combinations other varieties simply can't match. Its compact, steady flowering habit means you get weeks of blooms from a single plant without constant deadheading. The globe-shaped flower structure is instantly recognizable and holds up well in arrangements, making this dahlia equally valuable in the border and in a vase.
Koko Puff dahlias are grown primarily for cut flowers and garden display. The long stems and durable globe-shaped blooms make them excellent choices for floral arrangements, where the unique smoky-mauve coloring pairs well with both warm and cool-toned companion flowers.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Plant dahlia tubers outdoors in late spring when soil temperatures have reached 60 degrees Fahrenheit, timing planting around your region's last frost date. In the Northeast, this window typically falls from late May onward, though exact timing depends on your specific location and local frost patterns.
Cut Koko Puff blooms in the early morning when stems are fully hydrated for longest vase life. Harvest once flowers have fully opened into their characteristic globe shape, typically 80 to 100 days after planting. Continue cutting throughout the blooming season to encourage more flowers.
