Dahlia 'White Aster' is a fabulous garden plant for border, patio container or allotment. A wonderful plant for long-lasting cut-flowers. A long-established plant that has stood the test of time—more than 120 years of garden cultivation. And brilliant white pompon flowers that light up a border! What more could anyone ask of a dahlia? Dahlia 'White Aster' is one of the best of the white pompon dahlias (or ball dahlias) available to grow in gardens. Dozens of individual pompons are produced on well-grown plants, and each pompon may be 5-6cm across, and tightly packed with petals. Most are pure white, while there is a softer, creamier, centre.

 

Superb in either a sunny border or patio pot, many people choose to grow this variety purely for cut-flowers. Dahlia 'White Aster' offers a breath of freshness to any summer flower arrangement, with its masses of small flowerheads on strong stems. The blooms have a great vase life. They are a must, too, for weddings where the family like to supply some—or all—of the flowers!
