Indulge in the opulence of Dahlia 'Café au Lait Twist', a sumptuous variety that boasts striking bi-coloured blooms. Towering at a height of approximately 100 cm, this dahlia variety is a feast for the eyes, especially in late summer gardens in need of a colour boost. The flowers unfurl in a creamy hue, punctuated by irregular raspberry-pink stripes, offering a delightful contrast to its intricately serrated leaves. Whether planted as a standalone specimen or as part of a mixed border, this dahlia is a prolific bloomer from July until the first autumn frost.

For optimal growth, dahlias prefer a sunny location, as ample sunlight enhances flower colouration. Given their tall stature and somewhat delicate stems, a sheltered spot away from strong winds is advisable. The soil should be neutral to slightly alkaline, nutrient-rich, well-drained, and consistently moist. Plant the tubers at intervals of 50-60 cm and at a depth of 5-10 cm, anytime from April to June. During dry spells, regular watering is essential, as is feeding with organic or mineral fertilisers.

For continued blooming, it's recommended to deadhead spent flowers, allowing the plant to focus its energy on new bud production. As dahlias are not frost-hardy, their tubers must be lifted come autumn. After cutting back the stems, carefully dig up the tubers and store them in a dry, cool environment at approximately 2-4°C. For added protection, cover the tubers with sand or peat.
