How to prune pompon dahlia 'jowey mirella'

Pinch once in late spring; deadhead throughout summer and autumn. Pinch the main growing tip above the third leaf node at around 12 inches tall. Cut spent flowers back to the next healthy leaf or lateral shoot; do not leave stubs which can harbour botrytis.

Pinch once; deadhead every 3–5 days through bloom season. Pompon Dahlia 'Jowey Mirella' produces small, perfectly round blooms and flowers freely without disbudding. Pinching at 12 inches encourages more stems. Regular deadheading is the main pruning task — pompon types set seed quickly, and removing spent blooms keeps the display going until first frost.
