The White Perfection dahlia is a majestic plant with surprisingly large flowers. It belongs to giant-flowered cultivars, whose flowers can reach impressive diameters of more than 25 centimetres. This lush, vigorously growing dahlia resembles a large shrub. The White Perfection is a great choice for anyone looking for a tall plant that produces flowers all summer long until autumn. Its beautiful, white flowers with creamy-white petal bases look phenomenal on flowerbeds, borders, in corners of the plot, or right next to the places of relaxation, e.g. a terrace. Only a few stems decorated with huge flowers make a stunning bouquet that will brighten up any room.

Plant dahlias in the garden around mid-May. This is due to the high sensitivity of these plants to frost. Should you decide to plant earlier, cover the site with garden fleece. A common practice is to plant dahlias in pots and force them until the time for planting outside comes. Developing plants are kept indoors until they can be safely transferred to the ground. Dahlias prefers sunny places. Shade prevents them from flowering. They require fertile and well-drained, loose soil. Put tubers only about five centimetres deep and water them abundantly. Tall varieties, such as the offered White Perfection, require supports that you should put up immediately at planting, so as not to damage the tubers later. Dahlias need adequate watering and fertilization. Removing faded inflorescences stimulates the plant to form new buds.

Dig up tubers before the winter, usually after October 15th and the first frost. Dry and cool rooms are suitable for storing dahlia rhizomes.
