Dalaya® White Dahlia

Dalaya® White is a white-flowered selection in Selecta’s Dalaya® dahlia series, a medium-vigor group bred for garden display. The exact Selecta product listing identifies the selection as KLEDH24733 and gives protection reference PP37,396. ## Garden use Dalaya dahlias are described as upright and well branched, with green foliage and large flowers suited to landscapes and containers. Selecta’s general series guidance gives a mature height of 12–16 inches and spread of 12–14 inches; these are series-level figures, so growing conditions and container size can affect the result. The product name anchors the white color, while the breeder’s series description also notes that Dalaya flowers may be bicolored. ## Growing conditions Grow in full sun and fertile, humus-rich soil that remains evenly moist without becoming waterlogged. A sunny border or patio pot showcases the flowers. The [Selecta product page](https://www.selectanorthamerica.com/SpringPlants/SeriesInfo/?phid=021706572005863) provides the exact selection code and series information, and the [RHS dahlia guidance](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/514168/dahlia-dalaya-meena-yogi-kledh11031-dalaya-meena-series-p/details) describes cultivation in moist, well-drained soil. ## Maintenance Water during dry spells and remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms. In areas with cold winters, lift and store the tubers after the foliage is cut back, then replant in spring.
