The Fleurel dahlia is a variety that produces large numbers of white flowers that are creamy-white at the petal bases. Double, large flower heads that are supported by long stems, are fluffy and delicate. Overlapping petals are sharp-pointed and their edges are elegantly waved. Flowers may reach a diameter of 25 centimetres in optimal growing conditions. The lavishly and stunningly flowering dahlias reign in gardens from July to October. The height of this variety, about 90 centimetres, is well suited for perennial bed backgrounds whom they give colour at the end of the season, and in dividing rows.

This plant likes sunny situations and soils that are rich in nutrients. Make sure that the ground is permeable and constantly yet moderately moist. Adding a dab of compost will not only improve soil properties, but also enrich the ground with an extra portion of nutrients. Dahlia rhizomes are planted in May, preferably in the second half of that month. You should not plant its bulbous roots too deep. We recommend watering and feeding dahlia with suitable fertilizers during the entire vegetation period. Frost-sensitive dahlia tubers must be dug out in autumn after the first frost. Cut the blackened, wilted stems right above the ground. Clean and dry the rootstocks. After disposing of the excess soil, place the tubers inside boxes or baskets, cover with peat or sawdust, and place in a room that secured from frost. Leave them in such conditions until late spring when you can plant them again.
