Description
Dahlia ‘Caitlin’s Joy’
Dahlia ‘Caitlin’s Joy’ is a new found favourite!
The flowers are iridescent coral pink-mauve with salmon undertones.
Blends beautifully with Burlesca which is smaller and more coral.
The colour fits in so beautifully with the other Dahlia’s in my collection.
Growing up to 80cm tall ‘Caitlin’s Joy’ is an excellent choice for the smaller garden.

Cutting /Vase Life:
Dahlias do not continue to open once cut so pick when blooms are ¾ of the way open. Check the back of the flower head to check all the petals are perfect. The petals turn papery, drop and lose colour once they start to go over. Deadhead flowers to give plants back the energy to ripen the next flower rather than work on producing seed.
Place flowers straight into ready buckets of water, we rest our blooms for a few hours in water, this is called conditioning.
