Single Flowered Dahlia Happy Days Cream White
D4245
Description
Black foliage provides a wonderful contrast to the creamy-white blooms of dahlia ‘Happy Days Cream White’. A stunning dahlia which makes an exceptionally long-lasting container plant, pushing out blooms from July until the first frosts.
Golden yellow, nectar-packed centres at the heart of each bloom are a magnet to pollinators including bees and butterflies. The ivory velvet petals are delicately streaked with pink, adding further texture and refinement to this sophisticated dahlia.
Care Guide
To grow Dahlias, select a sunny spot with well-drained soil, and dig a 30cm deep hole. Plant the tuber 10cm below the soil surface, spacing multiple tubers 45cm apart, or 90cm for taller varieties. Water consistently, maintaining moist but not saturated soil and protect new shoots from slug damage with eco-friendly methods. Feed plants during the blooming period with liquid plant food. Provide support for stems which will reach 60-90cm tall depending on variety. Enjoy spectacular blooms from late summer until first frosts. Cut or deadhead the flowers regularly for a continually flourishing display. Once blooming has finished, cut back foliage before lifting, drying and storing the tubers in peat-free substitute, in a frost-free place until the following spring.
