Variety from 1994 (Jack, David Canada)
White with lilac pink tips. This beautiful giant is not only quite tall (130 cm) but also has very large flowers measuring up to 20 cm in diameter.
In 1789, a number of dahlias were sent from Mexico to the botanical garden in Madrid with the message to serve them as food. They were not very popular at that time. That changed when Joséphine de Beauharnais, wife of Napoleon, impulsively had her garden planted full of dahlias. She set the trend; from that moment on, everyone wanted these coquettish ladies in their garden. Until they suddenly became affordable because they were so desired. The status changed from 'popular' to 'ordinary'. For a long time, the charming dahlia had to cope with this undeserved status, but fortunately, she has been rediscovered! This lady is once again very hot in the garden.
