Description

Dahlia My Love is valued for purity and structure. The blooms are fully double and predominantly white, often with a gentle creamy tone toward the centre, creating a polished look that suits formal borders and modern planting. Irish horticulturists use white dahlias in estate gardens, hotel planters and event led displays because they lift any palette, photograph well and stay visible in evening light. In Irish gardens it works best planted in small groups to create a strong block of white, or used as a linking plant between stronger colours. It performs extremely well in large containers near entrances and patios. For cutting gardens it provides clean, high value stems for bouquets, and regular cutting or deadheading encourages repeat flowering into autumn. Pair it with ornamental grasses, lavender, salvias, blush pinks or deep burgundy foliage for strong contrast. Pollinators such as butterflies are frequently drawn to this variety, enhancing biodiversity and supporting local ecosystems throughout the growing season. Best planted in fertile, free-draining soil with good sun exposure, it also benefits from shelter from strong Atlantic winds. It is a versatile choice for cottage gardens, herbaceous borders and naturalistic planting designs.
