Features

notes
The eccentric layered structure and sharp colours of the Dahlia ‘Caproz Josephine’ lends this bloom its unique vivacity. Featuring a lemon base, the split-ended petals shoot out into variations of yellow and magenta, with the occasional hint of white. This variety would be particularly striking in a cut flower arrangement, due to its generously sized blooms.
Insights

Classed as a ‘Laciniated Dahlia’, these tender perennials feature broad petals that are split at the end into two or more divisions, presenting an intriguing fringed or frilled style, making them appear particularly eye-catching.

Care

Feed weekly, and water well in hot weather. The tall flower stems will require staking and tying in, but this is well worth the trouble for the magnificent display that they produce. Larger flowers can be obtained by pinching out the side buds and just keeping the terminal buds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more buds. Lift the tubers once the foliage has died back and store in a frost-free location in moist sand or compost. Find out more about over-wintering your dahlias with our helpful guide .
