Miniature Ball Β· 3–3.5"Dark BlendGeerlings (2014)Netherlands

Caitlin's Joy is a miniature ball dahlia that opens 3–3.5" blooms with Dark Blend coloring. Each perfectly rolled globe arrives in a dusky swirl of raspberry, smoky purple, and warm apricot that photographers queue up for. It inherits the Ivanetti bloodline's legendary stem strength and nonstop bloom production, so your buckets stay full from midsummer to frost. It was bred in Netherlands by Geerlings in 2014.

Growing Caitlin's Joy

Plant your tuber in full sun after your last frost date and pinch your plant early in the season to encourage branching. Your plant rewards consistent watering and a balanced fertilizer, then switch to a low-nitrogen blend once buds appear. Harvest each bloom when it is three-quarters open, checking that the back petals feel firm rather than papery.

Spacing
Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking
Stake early β€” stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
