The Ultimate Elegant White Cactus Dahlia

Pre-order for dispatch end of February 2026.

The Dahlia 'My Love' is a timeless favourite that brings sophisticated texture and brightness to the summer garden. As a semi-cactus variety, it features masses of elegant, spiky petals that radiate outwards in a pure, glistening white. Occasionally, the very centre holds a whisper of creamy-green, adding to its fresh and crisp appearance.

Vigorous and reliable, 'My Love' is a brilliant choice for adding height and drama to the back of a border. Its long, strong stems make it exceptional for cutting, and it is widely used in wedding floristry for its clean lines and romantic feel. Whether you mix it with soft pastels or use it to cool down hot-coloured borders, this dahlia is a hardworking professional that never disappoints.
