Dahlia Cactus My Love

Dahlia ‘My Love’ is a white-flowered, tuberous-rooted perennial with blooms about 15 cm across, greenish-yellow centres, and petals that roll under into a spiky outline. The RHS reports flowering from mid-summer until the first frosts above mid-green foliage, making this selection a pale accent for summer borders and arrangements. Mature size sources list about 0.5–1 m in height and spread at the [RHS](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/79193/dahlia-my-love-s-c/details), while [The Plant Company](https://www.theplantcompany.co.nz/shop/product/bulbs/dahlia-my-love) gives 1 m height and 70 cm spread. ## Maintenance Choose a sunny position and fertile soil that drains freely while retaining moisture. Water in dry weather and remove faded flowers to encourage continued bloom. Dahlias are tender in freezing conditions; in colder regions, lift the tubers after frost, dry them, and store them somewhere cool, dark, and frost-free for winter. The [RHS dahlia growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/dahlia/growing-guide/) covers planting tubers, seasonal care, and winter storage.
