Dahlia Café au Lait is a bushy, tall perennial with huge, decorative flowers. This chic dahlia gains a growing following in Polish gardens. The quite late, long, and abundant flowering of dahlias is their great asset. The presented Café au Lait variety produces bright, creamy-white flowers that may be adorned with irregular pastel streaks in shades of pink. The dark green, compound leaves that densely cover dahlia's strong stems add elegance and a distinctive form to the plant. A dahlia tuft with its overlapping flowers is visible from a distance and forms a sensational decoration of a quiet garden corner where you like to rest. It looks beautiful next to small wooden garden architecture, an entrance to a terrace, or in a row by the fence. Growing between 70 and 100 centimetres tall, the plant provides a spectacular option to enrich your flower bed arrangements. The impressive dahlia bush should also make a great figure as a solitary plant. The Café au Lait dahlia provides great material for bouquets and decorations too. Its nice appearance lasts for quite a long time.

Dahlia is a plant for a sunny situation that should also be sheltered from the wind. Carefully prepare the dahlia growing site, weed it, loosen the soil, and remove larger stones. Dahlia likes compost-enirched, humous, and permeable soil. Plant its tuberous roots in spring in fairly large holes with a drainage layer at the bottom. Water and fertilize as needed throughout the growing period. Dahlias are sensitive to cold. You have to dig up their tubers in autumn and store until spring in dry, airy rooms.

Each package contains one first quality dahlia seedling. Basic plant facts and a growing guide were included in the product information on the packaging label.
