Dahlia Caitlins Joy

Dahlia 'Caitlin's Joy' is such a pretty ball dahlia variety that brings a delightful blend of colors to any garden. The blooms exhibit a harmonious mix of mauve-rose hues, subtly warmed by hints of apricot along the petal edges, creating a soft and appealing palette. Each flower measures approximately 3.5 inches in diameter, featuring tightly packed petals that form a perfect ball shape. The plant reaches a height of about 3 feet, making it suitable for garden borders, containers, and as a charming addition to floral arrangements. Dahlia 'Caitlin's Joy' blooms profusely from July to November, providing a long season of color that enhances garden aesthetics. For optimal growth, plant 'Caitlin's Joy' in full sun to partial shade, ensuring it receives ample light for robust blooming. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil. Plant the tubers in spring after the danger of frost has passed, about 1 to 2 inches deep and spaced 12 to 16 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming throughout the season. In colder regions, it's advisable to dig up the tubers after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over winter to protect them from freezing temperatures. With its soft color palette and elegant form, Dahlia 'Caitlin's Joy' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of refined beauty to their landscapes.
