The Cafe Au Lait dahlia produces stunning 7-inch fully double blooms in creamy white with delicate tan and soft pink-peach undertones, classified as an informal decorative type. Reaching approximately 4 feet in height, this variety offers substantial visual impact in garden beds and cutting gardens alike. The nuanced color palette and generous flower size make it particularly valuable for floral arrangements and landscape design. Tubers establish readily and reward growers with prolific flowering throughout the season, making this a dependable choice for both experienced cultivators and enthusiastic gardeners seeking premium results.

How To Plant Dahlias

To get your dahlias started, pick a sunny spot with soil that drains well. Dig a hole, lay the tuber flat, and cover it with soil about 3 inches deep. Hold off on watering for now. Once you spot some sprouts and a few leaves, it’s time to water, but keep it gentle to prevent root rot. It’s a smart  to put the stake next to the tuber at the same time of planting, so you don’t accidentally damage it later on.

As the season goes on, give your dahlias some love with fertilizer and insect sprays to help them bloom beautifully and grow strong. In the fall, dig up the roots and store them over winter.
