Aggie White is an informal decorative dahlia that opens 10" blooms in orange. One bloom of Aggie White can anchor an entire bed, glowing burnt orange and copper like a harvest moon caught low in the sky. The color deepens as each flower opens, shifting from soft amber at the edges to rich bronze at the heart. It was bred in Ireland by Christopher White in 2018.

Growing Aggie White

Give this giant a sheltered spot in full sun and drive a sturdy stake in at planting time, because the huge heads get top heavy after rain. Pinch the growing tip early to build a strong branching frame, then disbud down to one bloom per stem if you want show bench size. Feed generously through midsummer, water deeply at the roots, and lift the tubers after the first frost since it is only borderline hardy.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
