Dahlia 'Caproz Josephine'

Dahlia 'Caproz Josephine' is a showy Fimbriata (fringed) variety known for its distinctive, multi-tonal blooms and spiky, textured appearance.

Key Characteristics

• Flower Type & Colour: A semi-cactus, fimbriated dahlia featuring buttery-yellow petals with vibrant pink or purple tips. The petals have split ends, providing a unique "fringed" or "shredded" effect.
• Bloom Size: Produces large flower heads reaching between 11cm and 17cm in diameter.
• Height: Reaches a mature height of 70cm to 100cm (approx. 28-40 inches).
• Flowering Period: Prolific bloomer from July until the first autumn frosts.
• Usage: Its upright habit makes it suitable for beds, borders, and large containers. It is also a popular choice for cut flower arrangements

Cultivation and Care

• Position: Prefers full sun in a sheltered spot with well-drained, fertile soil.
• Planting: Best planted between March and May. Plant tubers approximately 10cm to 15cm deep.
• Maintenance: Water regularly during dry spells and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Staking is recommended due to its height.
• Overwintering: It is tender (half-hardy) and cannot withstand freezing. In colder regions, lift the tubers in autumn after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry, frost-free location until spring.
