Cafe Au Lait is a must for weddings or any gardener who loves huge, show stopping blooms.

Cafe Au Lait (frequently abbreviated in dahlia forums as just “CAL”) puts out flowers that range from creamy with a hint of pink, or light pink with medium pink highlights - all on the same plant!

You can see some of the color variation that happens between flowers on the same plant in the listing photos to give you a feel for what to expect in your garden.

Planting directions

After danger of frost has passed, plant dahlia tubers in loose, well draining soil amended with compost and a well rounded fertilizer. Tubers should be planted 2-5” deep.

Alternatively, start tubers indoors 4-5 weeks before last frost by planting in a pot with good quality potting soil. Plant outside after all danger of frost has passed.

Dahlias prefer full sun but will do well in a partial sun location as long as it is they are not crowded by taller plants.

This listing is for one dahlia tuber with one or more good eyes.

Please note that tuber size and shape can vary from short and fat to long and skinny. Shape and size of the tuber is not an indicator of tuber quality or viability. We only send out tubers we would be happy to receive ourselves.
