Dinnerplate Dahlia Café au Lait
Dinnerplate Dahlia Café au Lait
Café au Lait Dahlia offers a very unusual coloring of creamy flowers tinged with peachy, light pink—a subtle blend that appears to be different each day. Spectacular 10" flowers are excellent for sunny borders and leading florists in Europe have discovered this variety for bridal bouquets and other high-end floral arrangements. Remove spent flower heads to encourage more blooms and maintain a neat appearance. Dahlias are easy to grow, but not hardy. Take care to lift tubers in zones 3-8 in the fall and store in a dry, frost-free location. Deer tend to avoid.
The Café au Lait Dahlia is shown with the Café au Lait Royal Dahlia and Café au Lait Rosé Dahlia in the third picture.

It has not bloomed yet but all tubers in order did sprout
So excited for these to bloom they all sprouted and look healthy.
My First Dahlia Experience - SPECTACULAR!
Decided to replace my annual garden and try something new. Got Care au Lait, Fleur, Boom Boom...and it was an explosion of beauty that truly was remarkable. All grew well and impressed.
Definitely yes!
Verified Buyer
Now I know why everyone is excited about this one! I happened to receive pinkish cream and yellowish cream color variety of Cafe au Lait. A pleasure to look at and to work with. Mine grew from about 8" at first to a manageable size of 5" in diameter flowers.
Top on my list 👌
Verified Buyer
Very happy , they bloomed beautifully .
Grew one in a pot for the deck, up close and spectacular!
Verified Buyer
Beautiful and just as pictured.

Verified Buyer
So pretty. The three tubers had subtle variations on color which I loved. Did find crown gall on one when harvested.
A good start...
Verified Buyer
Decent tubers but small. Some did not bloom but those that did were true to the variety. Made good tubers for CALs and hope next year to have better output.
Great addition to my landscape
Verified Buyer
3 of the five tubers grew and bloomed beautifully, I absolutely loved them. Other 2 tubers did not germinate. 4 star because of the 2 non performers. 5 star for the 3 that actually bloomed.
Okay if you can get them to grow.
Verified Buyer
They didn't all bloom and the ones that did were just one or two per plant.

The queen. Grew very well with lots of blooms.
