Dahlia Louis White

Louis White is a spectacular Giant Decorative dahlia, originating as a striking sport discovered by Christopher White of Ireland in 2017 and officially released in 2020. Celebrated for its flashy, vibrant yellow blooms, boasting enormous, dinnerplate-sized flowers held gracefully atop exceptionally strong stems. Named in honor of breeders father, Louis White, this dahlia offers gardeners not only striking visual appeal but also a heartfelt tribute. It’s perfect for creating dazzling displays in gardens, bouquets, and competitive exhibitions alike.

While the flowers themselves are huge, measuring up to the size of a dinner plate, the plants remain relatively compact, typically reaching heights of around 120 cm (4 feet). Due to their substantial flower size, these dahlias benefit from staking and thrive best in sheltered garden locations. Surprisingly weather-resistant, the only vulnerability for these impressive giants is exposure to strong, late-season winds. With its exceptional flower size and brilliant color, ‘Louis White’ has become a highly popular choice among gardeners looking to create a dramatic focal point.

Dahlias should be planted after the risk of frost has passed and will continue to bloom from early summer until mid-autumn. For optimal growth and flowering, choose a sunny spot to plant the tubers, as Dahlias thrive in full sun.
