Dahlia 'Gitts Attention' 1 tuber

Dahlia 'Gitts Attention' - is a top-quality decorative variety with full, creamy-white flowers reaching about 12–15 cm in diameter. The tips of the petals are finely split, giving the flower an especially luxurious look. It reaches about 120 cm in height and forms strong, long stems, making this variety ideal for cut flowers with very good vase life. ‘Gitts Attention’ is also an excellent background plant in beds, highlighting other varieties. In 1999, this dahlia received the American Dahlia Society award as the highest-rated new BB-size dahlia variety in North American trial gardens, confirming its outstanding quality and value for both collectors and professional growers.

Dahlia tubers are planted outdoors in a bed after the last frosts, usually in May. If you want flowering to start earlier, you can begin waking the tubers in March and April by placing them in a pot and keeping the pot indoors. The tubers will start producing new shoots; after that, the developed plants can be transplanted outdoors when frosts are no longer a threat.

In autumn, the tubers are dug up and overwintered in boxes in a cellar or another cool place.
