Dahlia ‘Cafe au Lait’

Description
Dahlia 'Cafe au Lait' is the most popular dahlia variety, prized for its exquisite beauty. The large 8 inch waterlily blossoms feature layers of creamy pink petals that fade to a light blush with beige undertones, creating a stunning and sophisticated look. 'Cafe au Lait' belongs to the informal decorative group, characterized by its double blooms that are not fully formal in shape. These dahlias have overlapping petals that can be slightly twisted or irregular, giving them a relaxed, informal appearance. 'Cafe au Lait' typically grows to a height of 4 feet, making it an excellent choice for borders, beds, or as a focal point in the garden. Its beauty and elegance make 'Cafe au Lait' a popular choice for bridal arrangements as well as a standout in any garden setting.

Care
Dahlias are generally low-maintenance. They do best in well-draining soil and prefer full sun for optimal growth and flowering. Tubers can be planted outside after the last frost. Nourish with a balanced fertilizer once the plants are established.

Throughout the growing season, provide support for tall varieties, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Harvest blossoms when buds are 3/4 open.
