Dahlia Caitlins Joy

Introduce a touch of refined charm to your garden with Dahlia Caitlin’s Joy, an exquisite ball-type dahlia that captivates with its serene, softly rounded petals. This graceful variety showcases blooms in a delicate blend of soft pink and ivory, casting a gentle glow that evokes a sense of peace and tranquillity. Each flower, measuring around 15-20 cm in diameter, features perfectly layered petals that open wide, creating a look that is both elegant and inviting.

Reaching a height of approximately 90-100 cm, Caitlin’s Joy stands tall with sturdy, supportive stems that make it an excellent choice for both garden display and cut flower arrangements. The deep green foliage frames the pastel blooms, adding depth and contrast to highlight their subtle beauty. This variety begins its enchanting display in mid-summer and continues to bloom prolifically until the first frost, offering an enduring source of colour and interest.

A unique feature of Caitlin’s Joy is its ability to maintain its delicate hues and petal integrity under varying weather conditions, making it ideal for gardeners in regions prone to both sunny and slightly overcast days. Unlike many other dahlias, it exhibits a remarkable balance between showiness and subtlety, perfect for those seeking understated elegance in their garden design.

We supply Dahlia Caitlin’s Joy tubers to British gardeners who value both beauty and resilience. This dahlia thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and flourishes best in full sun, although it can adapt to partial shade without compromising its blooming quality. As a tender perennial, it will need lifting and storage during winter months in colder climates to preserve its splendour for the following year.

Make Caitlin’s Joy your garden’s serene centrepiece and experience a dahlia that embodies grace and reliability, providing you with blooms that delight from season to season.
