The elegant Dahlia Crazy Love has full white flowers and purple-hued tips. Crazy Love blooms from July to November and grows to a height of about 90 cm. Plant the tubers in a sunny spot in the garden from mid-May. The soil must be nutritious, airy, and well-draining. Do not allow the soil to dry out during the growing season.
Dahlias are native to Mexico and are very popular. They provide beautiful cut flowers. For a long-lasting bloom, remove dead flowers to promote new flowers growth. Because Dahlias are not hardy in our climate, harvest the tubers in the first week of December and store them in a frost-free environment. Tip: plant them in attractive pots on the patio.
