Dahlia Cafe au Lait
Dahlia Cafe au Lait
Dahlia Cafe au Lait, Flowers of incredible size, perfect shape, unusual colour and exquisite satiny texture: light pink, faintly flushed mocha upon aging.
Most popular of the pink-toned dahlias, in part due to the fact that it has become popular for wedding bouquets. It is a champion in the border too. Belongs to the so-called 'dinner-plate' dahlias, carrying flowers that reach up to 25cm in diameter. Removal of the smaller side buds yields even larger blooms. In open situations, staking is advisable. Height 100cm .
Suggestion: Affaire combines wonderfully with such late-flowering narcissus as Tripartite and Thalia, creating a playful spring picture. Set it amongst the dark bronze foliage of Astilbe 'Fanel' which offers it the perfect setting and carmine red flowers to follow on
