Dahlia Café Au Lait

3 plants grown in 2.5" pots

Late Spring (warm soil) - plant after all threat of frost has passed.

Dahlia 'Café au Lait' is the epitome of luxurious beauty, with its large, soft cream blooms occasionally blushing pink, making it a favorite for weddings and upscale arrangements. This variety offers unmatched elegance as a cut flower. The blooms have good vase life, and their lush, radial symmetry adds a stunning focal point to floral designs. Shipped as virus-free, actively growing cuttings, these plants ensure high-quality performance in both gardens and professional cutting fields. The farm where the cuttings are produced is meticulously maintained, with propagation material rigorously tested to guarantee plants are true to type and free of viruses. However, growers should take precautions to prevent accidental virus transmission from stored tubers or insects, as this can compromise plant health. Despite its introduction in 1968, 'Café au Lait' has surged in popularity, renowned for its luxurious, creamy hues that may occasionally produce pink blooms. Virus-free plants are noted for producing more uniformly cream-colored flowers, making 'Café au Lait' a timeless and reliable choice for home gardeners and floral designers alike. Tuberous roots can be lifted in the fall and protected from freezing for planting the following spring.
