Dahlia 'My Love' (Cactus)
£4.69
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between February 23 and February 25.
Dahlia ‘My Love’ is a classic semi-cactus variety that produces elegant, pure white blooms with a hint of lime green at the centre. Known for its vigour and reliability, it is one of the most popular white dahlias for both garden display and cut flower use.
Reaching a tall stature, this variety sends up long, strong stems topped with spiky, needle-like petals that give the flower a starburst effect. Its height makes it an excellent candidate for the back of the border, where it can rise above lower-growing perennials.
Plant in full sun to keep the white petals bright and crisp, in well-drained, fertile soil. Due to its height, it is essential to stake this variety early in the season to prevent wind damage.
Water deeply once a week during dry periods and feed with a liquid tomato fertiliser from July onwards. When the season ends, lift the tubers and store them in dry compost or sand to overwinter safely.
A brilliant choice for "Moon Gardens" or all-white schemes, ‘My Love’ reflects evening light beautifully and serves as a versatile, long-lasting cut flower that complements any arrangement.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
