Description

Dahlia White Perfection is grown for big, clean white flowers with a polished decorative form. Irish horticulturists use this type extensively in formal borders, hotel planters and event focused planting because white lifts any palette, reads well in evening light and provides strong contrast against dark foliage and richer colours. In home gardens it is excellent near patios and entrances, where the blooms stay bright and fresh looking through late summer. It works well planted in small groups to create a clear block of white, or used as a linking plant between different colour areas in a mixed border. For cutting gardens, it provides statement stems for bouquets, and regular picking encourages repeat flowering. Pair it with ornamental grasses, lavender, salvias, blush pinks or deep burgundy dahlias for strong contrast and a designed look. Plant after frost risk in full sun and fertile, free draining soil improved with compost. Keep moisture steady, stake if exposed, feed from bud stage onwards and deadhead regularly. Lift and store tubers frost free after the first frosts for reliable replanting in Ireland.
