Cafe au Lait Royal Dahlia Plant

The Dinnerplate Dahlia, 'Cafe au Lait Royal', offers immense 10-inch blooms that dazzle in a harmonious blend of soft pink and dusky rose-pink, occasionally punctuated by a streak of purple or a hint of white. These flowers are not only magnificent in gardens but also stand out in cut flower arrangements. Offering weeks of vibrant displays from summer to autumn, this dahlia is an exceptional choice for those seeking to infuse a touch of grandeur and unique coloration into their borders or cutting beds.

Dahlia Plant Care: Wait until green sprouts emerge from the soil before watering. Then water deeply 2-3 times per week. Daily if in containers. Fertilize every 2 weeks for containers and every 3 weeks for soil grown. Use fertilizers that have a lower nitrogen count, generally half the amount of the other two on the NPK ratio. After frost has turned foliage brown, dig up the tubers and store them for the winter. 

Dahlia Companion Plants: Geranium, Salvia
