Availability: In stock
Dahlia 'Café au Lait Rose' is a magnificent decorative dinnerplate dahlia, producing enormous, fully double blooms in rich rose pink with soft blush undertones from summer until the first frosts of autumn. The lavish, layered flowers create an elegant focal point in borders, patio containers, and cut flower gardens, while their long stems make them exceptional for floral arrangements. This stunning variety pairs beautifully with salvias, verbena, roses and ornamental grasses for a romantic late-summer display.
Thriving in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, Dahlia 'Café au Lait Rose' performs best with regular watering and feeding throughout the growing season. Deadhead faded blooms to encourage continuous flowering and lift the tubers after the first frost in colder areas for winter storage. Easy to grow and incredibly rewarding, it is an outstanding choice for adding luxurious colour and spectacular blooms to the garden.

To plant them, dig a hole at least 20-30cm square and around 20-30cm deep for each one. Cover the base of the hole with 10cms of compost, or manure and give it a good dousing with a full watering can and then plant the dahlia at a depth of 15cms. You may need a stout stake, not just a bamboo cane, to support each plant and it is a good idea to knock this in first and then place the plant by its side. Plant in a sunny spot and keep moist yet well-drained. It will need to be lifted in winter - once the foliage dies back simply dig it up and store in a cool, frost free location.
