Description
The Dahlia fimbriata 'Caproz Josephine' is a semi-cactus lace variety. The petals are very delicate, partially rolled up on themselves, and twisted, frilly. The large flower displays a beautiful blend of soft colours, cream-white at the centre and vibrant pink-purple at the tips. The flower's centre is a soft lime green-yellow. The bush blooms from July to October and provides beautiful bouquet flowers.
Dahlias belong to the asteraceae family, originally from the high plateaus of Mexico. Currently, the approximately 25,000 horticultural varieties created by humans have invaded, to our greatest pleasure, gardens worldwide. The 'Caproz Josephine' variety reaches about 1.20 m in height and 70 cm in width. It is classified among cactus Dahlias, more specifically semi-cactus; a horticultural category defined by the flower shape. In this group, the coloured ligules of the head are incompletely rolled up for at least 1/3 of their length. The flowering of this variety starts in July and ends in October. The outer ligules are quite large, flexible, slightly rolled up, twisted. The habit is bushy and upright, and the very branched stems are hollow. The leaves are opposite, pinnatisect, meaning they divide into 3 or 5 toothed lobes. The leaves and stems are medium green, a colour that complements the flowers well.
To extend the flowering period and promote flower reblooming, make sure to remove faded flowers. Even better, regularly cut them to create attractive colourful bouquets by combining several varieties.
'Caproz Josephine' blends easily in mixed borders with other varieties of pink, red, purple or white Dahlias and with all flowerings, especially those of Tithonias, Anchusa, perennial Delphiniums and scarlet salvias. In borders, it will harmonise perfectly with Echinaceas, Sunflowers and Cleomes, for example. It is equally enhanced by a carpet of red or pink asters or grasses.
A star plant in borders and cottage gardens, Dahlias confidently accompany the most beautiful flowers, but are also appreciated alongside vegetable plants. In Mexico, this tuber was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. However, its poor taste qualities relegated it to the status of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

Planting and care
Plant your 'Caproz Josephine' dahlias in the spring in deeply worked soil enriched, for example, with crushed horn or dehydrated blood. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to refill without any air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with 6 cm of soil. At the end of planting, pour a litre of water. Water regularly for the first 6 weeks to aid root establishment. Dahlias are sensitive to cold. They need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts will blacken the foliage, indicating it's time to dig them up. Carefully unearth the tubers, removing as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so the tuber can replenish its reserves. Once the foliage is dry, cut the stems to 10 cm from the tuber. Spread your bulbs in a crate on newspaper. Store in a frost-free, dry, cool, and dark place.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
