Dahlietta® Blanca Dahlia

Dahlietta® Blanca is a compact, mounded dahlia with white flowers and green foliage. Ball Seed lists this cultivar in the 10–12 inch Dahlietta series, with spring and summer bloom, sun exposure, and a petite habit suited to small pots; a nursery profile describes white petals with golden centers. ## Placement and color Use Blanca in a sunny container, along the front of a border, or in a small garden where the light flowers can brighten a planting. Its rounded habit pairs well with fine-textured foliage and stronger flower colors. The [Ball Seed cultivar page](https://www.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=021701289011649) lists its habit, dimensions, sun, medium water, flowering season, and pollinator and deer-resistance characteristics. [Chalet’s Blanca profile](https://chaletnursery.com/products/dahlietta-blanca-white) describes white flowers with golden centers and use in borders or containers. ## Soil and watering Plant in fertile soil that stays evenly moist while draining freely. Water during warm, dry weather, and check containers often because they lose moisture faster than beds. The [RHS dahlia guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/dahlia/growing-guide/) recommends sunny exposure, moist but free-draining soil, and regular watering for container dahlias. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers to keep the plant neat and support a longer display. Dahlias are frost-tender; in areas with freezing winters, protect the tubers or lift and store them somewhere frost-free after foliage is damaged by frost. Follow the [RHS overwintering guidance](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/dahlia/growing-guide/).
