Caitlin's Joy, 5-pack
We grow so much Caitlin's Joy on our farm! She is a very solid producer with long-lasting blooms in a desirable lavender-mauve color. Great for both florists and grocery sales. What more could we ask for? Oh, and this variety produces the most abundant and uniform tubers of any variety we grow. A must-grow!
This listing is for 5 dahlia tubers. We do not sell single tubers. Dahlia tubers vary in size and shape, though all have been vetted scrupulously for viability. Tubers will be shipped late March/early April. After that, orders will ship same week. We ship once per week.
How to Grow Dahlias
Dahlias are stunners in the garden and vase, and very easy to grow from tubers! They can be grown in large pots or in the garden. Select a planting site in full sun with well-draining soil. Plant tubers 12” apart and 6” deep with tuber on its side and growth point (or "eye") facing upwards. Tubers are susceptible to rot if overwatered; wait to water tubers until sprout has emerged, then water heavily throughout the Summer. Plants will die back with first frost. If planted in an area where the ground doesn't freeze and soil has good drainage, tubers can be left in the ground and will come up next year. Tubers can also be dug up, stored over winter, divided, and replanted in late Spring after risk of frost.
