White, whiter, very white. Big, bigger, very big.
In contrast to its sister "Café au Lait", Supreme is almost snow white. And the huge flowers are unbelievable. Just look at the third picture - I look really small next to it.
It feels right at home in the flower bed (as long as it has enough space to spread out), but it also looks stunning in a vase.
Tip: Pinch dahlias as soon as they are 20 to 30 cm high: simply shorten the shoot tip by a third. Then they will form several shoots, more flowers and become bushier.

🐝 Dahlias are often wrongly described as flowers that are not insect-friendly. However, as soon as the flowers open - even if they are densely filled - they release their stamens and are accessible to bees and other insects.
Flower happiness guarantee: You should enjoy your dahlias 100%. Sometimes, however, nature does what it wants and that is actually quite nice, but not always in the interest of us gardeners. In rare cases, a tuber does not sprout. If this is the case for you, please contact me! We will find a solution 💚
