I was glad they arrived early as I like to plant in March. Good strong plants with many blooms. Did find crown gall on one upon harvest this year (first year)

None of my "Dinnerplate" dahlias grew to the promised size. The largest was maybe 6 inches in diameter, and some were only 2 inches.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

I've never grown Cafe Au Lait even though it's very popular among dahlia enthusiasts because I like a flower with color so when I saw Cafe Au Lait Rose I decided to try it. Def a beautiful flower. I do recommend growing if especially if you like larger flowers.

prolific

Submitted 4 years ago

By curious gardener

From San Francisco, CA

This variety of Rose Cafe Au Lait was a prolific repeat bloomer - much more so than it's regular blush pink/ beige predecessor Cafe Au Lait, at least in our climate (San Francisco, CA). Vase life is shorter than regular Cafe Au Lait, so that is a bit of a downside for flower arrangers. All 5 tuber clumps sprouted and bloomed and the flowers were well formed and as pictured.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
