Dahlia Café Au Lait Supreme
Dahlia 'Café Au Lait Supreme' is a stunning dinnerplate dahlia variety renowned for its large, pure creamy white blooms. Each flower measures approximately 10 inches in diameter, featuring petals that twist and turn, adding a unique texture to the garden. The plant reaches a height of about 40-50 inches, making it an excellent choice for garden borders and as a striking cut flower. Blooming from July to November, 'Café Au Lait Supreme' provides a long season of color. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, fertile soil. For optimal growth, plant the tubers in spring after the danger of frost has passed, about 6 inches deep and spaced 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming throughout the season. In colder regions, it's advisable to dig up the tubers after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over winter to protect them from freezing temperatures. With its stunning color palette and robust growth habit, Dahlia 'Café Au Lait Supreme' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of tropical beauty to their landscapes.
