This sumptuous dinnerplate Dahlia is simply irresistible! Dahlia ‘Café Au Lait’ produces exquisite blooms in a soft apricot-pink colour which slowly fade to warm blush-cream. Its subtle shades make this a versatile variety, both in the border or as a cut flower, blending effortlessly into almost any colour scheme. This luxuriant Dahlia has great presence, reaching a height of up to 120cm (48″) – perfect for creating a focal point toward the back of the border. Height: 120cm (48″). Spread: 60cm (24″).
Plant Dahlia tubers outdoors in April after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist well drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well rotted manure or compost. Plant tubers at a depth of 15cm (6”) and water well. Alternatively, start tubers into growth in pots of compost in a frost free greenhouse. Transplant them into their final positions outdoors in June.
