Creamy vanilla, soft blush and warm champagne unfold in billowy layers, giving Café au Lait its unmistakable, luminous beauty. Each generous dinnerplate bloom feels like a handful of gathered silk, equally lovely in a sunny border or standing alone in a simple vase. Each order includes 1 dahlia tuber.
Some flowers lean toward cream, others blush or warm latte, creating a softly shifting palette for romantic bouquets. Pair them with airy greenery and pale pink flowers, or let their quiet color soften richer berry tones.

Planting & care
Plant after the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. Choose full sun and well-drained soil, and install support early for stems carrying large blooms. Avoid soggy conditions; water regularly once growth is established. Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In colder climates, lift tubers after frost and store in a cool, dry, frost-free place over winter.
