Injecting color, drama and late-summer fireworks in the garden, dahlias look fabulous on their own or combined with other plants. Many are graceful and integrate well into most borders, creating appealing planting combinations and providing interest from mid-summer until the first frost.

To help you plan your summer or early fall garden, here is a plant combination, in the shade of white, which includes 3 fantastic Dahlias, ‘My Love’, ‘Honka White’ and ‘Verda’.

They are interplanted with easy growing plants such as Agastache rugosa F. albiflora (Korean Mint), Anemone x hybrida ‘Honorine Jobert’ (Japanese Anemone), Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Sonata White’, Lobularia ‘Snow Crystals’ (Sweet Alyssum), Phlox paniculata ‘David’ (Garden Phlox) and Veronicastrum virginicum ‘Album’ (Culver’s Root). 

Most plants make excellent fresh-cut flowers that can be pleasantly enjoyed at home!
