Characteristics

Dahlia Café au Lait is a garden showstopper, producing massive blooms in creamy blush-to-beige tones. Despite its size, it grows reliably with proper support. Growers value its unpredictable palette and the excitement it brings midsummer into fall.

Florists consider Café au Lait a must-have for weddings. Its oversized, ruffled blooms and neutral chic hues blend effortlessly into blush, cream, or bold palettes. Though delicate-looking, it lasts 4 to 7 days on average when freshly cut and properly conditioned.

Tatiana's Tips

She’s the queen of the bridal bouquet. Café au Lait’s oversized, ruffled blooms and creamy blush tones have made her a floral celebrity. But here’s the secret: she’s a bit of a diva in the garden— you never know how she’ll show up looking. Not the most prolific, but when she does bloom… it’s pure magic, so buy more tubers than you need if you want a luscious harvest.
