Plant Description
The stunning bloom of Dahlia Dahlietta 'Shirley' features a soft, gentle yellow that
evokes the warmth of sunlight, while the pure white accents add a refreshing layer of
lightness and elegance. The overall effect is one of clean, effortless beauty — a
flower that feels both delicate and uplifting.
The petals are arranged in neat, symmetrical layers, forming a perfectly rounded
rosette that sits gracefully atop a compact, well-structured plant. This variety blooms
continuously from spring through to late summer, especially when regularly
deadheaded, which encourages even more flowers to appear.
With its compact and uniform growth, this plant shines beautifully on its own in patio
pots or window boxes, and it also makes a lovely companion in summer flower beds.
It thrives in full sunshine, enjoys moist, well-drained soil, and benefits from being fed
every few weeks to support vigorous blooming.
Not only is it a visual joy, but it's also a magnet for pollinators, bees and butterflies
are drawn to its open, welcoming form, finding plenty of space to land and gather
nectar.
This bicolour yellow and white Dahlietta brings a soft glow to any garden space — a
charming, graceful flower that captures the essence of summer.
