Dahlia Boom Boom White
Availability: Out of stock
Dahlia 'Boom Boom White' is a remarkable variety distinguished by its immaculate, brilliant white blooms that accentuate any garden bed or border.
The smooth, geometric shape formed by the perfectly round, densely packed petals of this ball shaped ponpom Dahlia provide a very neat, clean, smart appearance. The contrast of the pristine white blooms and the dark green foliage makes them an excellent garden addition, or perhaps even grow a few to produce armfulls of blooms for the vase.
'Boom Boom White' grows to a height of approximately 90–120 cm, making it perfect for planting in borders, cutting gardens, or container gardens where its striking flowers may be observed up close. It needs well-drained, nutritious soil and grows best in full sun, which preserves the petals striking white colour.
Supplied as a bare root bulb ready to bloom.
Supplied as tubers, the best time to plant is in April and May. To plant them, dig a hole at least 20-30cm square and around 20-30cm deep for each one. Cover the base of the hole with 10cms of compost, or manure and give it a good dousing with a full watering can and then plant the dahlia at a depth of 15-20cms. You will need a stout stake, not just a bamboo cane, to support each plant and it is a good idea to knock this in first and then place the plant by its side. It will need to be lifted in winter - once the foliage dies back simply dig it up and store in a cool, frost free location.
