The Dahlia 'Jeanne d'Arc' is distinguished by its particularly bright cactus flowers, in a candid pink color, very fresh, warmed by a cream-colored heart. From July to October, it produces highly double flowers, composed of long, narrow, curled and tapered petals, with a very regular appearance. The flower's center is infused with yellow. The plant, of medium size, has a bushy habit that is well-suited for the back of flower beds. Its pure flowers are superb in summer and autumn bouquets.
Dahlias belong to the large family of asteraceae, originally from the high plateaus of Mexico. Currently, the approximately 25,000 horticultural varieties obtained by humans have invaded gardens around the world, much to our delight. They are perennial plants with fleshy tubers. Dahlias are classified according to the shape of their flowers. The Dahlia 'Jeanne d'Arc', widely planted in our gardens, is classified in the category of cactus-flowered Dahlias. In this group, the flowers are large, and the colored ligules that compose them are entirely rolled up on themselves, giving them a spiky appearance. In this Jeanne d'Arc variety, the heads are 15 cm (6in) in diameter and display a very pastel color, combining a dominant fresh pink with a more pronounced yellow center. The plant will reach a minimum height of 1m (3ft), and a width of 60 cm (24in), with a bushy and erect habit. The highly branched stems are hollow and the leaves are opposite, pinnately compound, meaning they are divided into 3 or 5 leaflets, which have very denticulate lobes. The leaves and stems are dark green, a shade that enhances the color of the flowers.
To promote reblooming and extend the flowering period, make sure to remove faded flowers. Even better, regularly create attractive colorful bouquets by combining various varieties. The tall stature of this variety makes it suitable for the back of perennial flower beds, where it will blend well with pink, blue, and purple. The light flowering of asters is perfect when accompanied by dahlias, as they bloom simultaneously, as well as cleomes and gauras, for example. Also consider ornamental grasses like foxtail barley or panicum, which are very attractive in autumn.
Dahlias are undoubtedly beautiful flowers, making them the stars of ornamental gardens, but they can also enhance vegetable gardens. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. Its poor taste qualities quickly relegated it to the status of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

Botanical data
The Dahlia 'Jeanne d'Arc' is easy to grow in all regions. For abundant flowering, following a few simple rules is good: plant the tubers in a sunny location after the last frost; rich, fresh, and well-draining soil is perfect. However, stagnant humidity would promote tuber rot. Feel free to amend the soil with compost and sand if needed. Work the soil deeply and enrich it, for example, with blood, fish and bone. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to fill without air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with about 6 cm (2in) of soil. At the end of planting, water once abundantly and then repeat this watering regularly during the first six weeks to help with rooting. Dahlias are sensitive to cold, so they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts cause the foliage to turn black, which is the time to dig them up. Carefully remove the tubers. Remove as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so that the tubers can replenish their reserves. Then cut the stems to 10 cm (4in). Spread your bulbs in a box of newspaper. Store them in a frost-free, dry, cool, dark place like a frost-free garage or attic. In the southern regions, close to the coast, where there are few frosty days per year, it is possible to leave them in place. In this case, cover the ground with a layer of leaves or straw for protection.
This tall Dahlia, with its hollow stems, does not withstand wind or heavy rain well. To overcome this drawback, you can stake it, but let's admit, it's not very aesthetic. On the other hand, by pinching the stems early or removing the axial flower buds, you will spread out the habit of the plant, which will offer more resistance to bad weather. At the same time, you channel the sap flow to a single flower, which will become more prominent and robust.

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).
