Gorgeous blooming in this month of September (planted in late May). A beautiful coppery pink color punctuated with violet, heralding the arrival of autumn.

Description
The 'Feline Yvonne' Camellia-flowered Dahlia is a very beautiful variety that combines perfect flower shape, a colour of great purity, and long dark floral stems. Of medium size, slightly flattened, they resemble those of water lilies. Their colour is a vivid coral pink without being aggressive, with a more mauve centre. This dahlia, with its beautiful fresh green foliage, provides a long summer flowering, overflowing with charm until the frost, perfect for adding a romantic and feminine touch to flower beds or homemade 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, much to our delight, gardens all over the world. Dahlias are classified according to the shape of their heads. 'Feline Yvonne' is a decorative dahlia with camellia-like flowers. Registered in the Netherlands in 2019, it won the third prize of the Public Criterium at the Parc Floral in Paris in 2020. The terminal inflorescences, called heads, are carried by purple-violet stems. They consist of several rows of almost flat outer ligules, slightly rolled up. The heads are regular and generally measure 8 to 9cm (3 to 4in) in diameter. The small yellow centre of the flowers only appears late, just before wilting. The plant will easily reach a height of 1m (3ft) and a width of 70cm (28in). It has an upright habit, and its stems sometimes require staking. Its beautiful bright green leaves are deeply denticulate. The particularly long flowering of this variety starts in July and ends in October-November, if care is taken to remove faded flowers or make bouquets frequently.
Today, indispensable in gardens, whether it is an ornamental garden or even a vegetable garden, Dahlias were initially cultivated in Mexico as a root vegetable. Their poor taste qualities quickly assigned them the status of ornamental plants, but they are still welcome in the vegetable garden to add some colour among the vegetables. 'Feline Yvonne' is a beautiful plant that can be used to structure elevated flower beds, and can be combined with purple foliage, for example (Cotinus 'Royal Purple', Physocarpus 'Red Baron', Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace'). It pairs particularly well with blue, plum, or even chocolate flowers.

Planting and care
The 'Feline Yvonne' Dahlia is easy to grow in all regions. For a generous flowering, it is good to follow a few simple rules, plant the tubers in a sunny position as soon as the last frost has passed, rich, fresh, and well-drained soils are perfect. However, stagnant humidity would promote the rotting of the tubers. Do not hesitate to amend the soil with compost and sand if necessary. Work the soil deeply and enrich it, for example, with crushed horn or dehydrated blood. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to fill without air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with about 6cm (2in) of soil. At the end of planting, water once abundantly and then renew this watering regularly during the first 6 weeks to help with rooting.
Dahlias are sensitive to cold, they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frost causes the foliage to blacken, it is time to dig them up. Carefully unearth 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 10cm (4in). Spread your bulbs in a crate on newspaper. Store them away from frost in a dry, cool, and dark place, such as a frost-free garage or an 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, simply cover the ground with a layer of leaves or straw for protection.
This Dahlia, with its hollow stems, is not resistant to wind or heavy rain. To overcome this inconvenience, you can stake it, but let's admit it, it's not very aesthetically pleasing. 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 flow of sap to a single flower, which will become larger and stronger.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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 planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
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.
