Description
If you desire a real talking point in your garden, then Dahlia 'Café au Lait Rosé' is just what you need. A giant decorative dahlia, its flowers are up to 20-25cm across, and in shades of beautiful deep rose-pink. They appear in a constant stream from mid-summer to autumn. A tuberous-rooted perennial, Dahlia 'Café au Lait Rosé' will reach a height of 100-120cm. Its fleshy, glossy foliage is dark green.
The outstanding Dahlia 'Café au Lait Rosé' will add beauty, and a rich colour to seasonal borders or mixed garden beds. It is equally useful on an allotment or in a cutting garden—as these dahlia flowers are exceptionally good for the vase. Just make sure, wherever you grow this dahlia, that it has room to spread and show off its huge flowers to best advantage. Dahlia 'Café au Lait Rosé' is the pink sister to the long-established and fashionable pinkish cream and tan Dahlia 'Café au Lait'—we expect 'Rosé' to be equally sought after!
In 1776, French botanist Nicolas-Joseph Thiéry de Menonville was sent to Mexico to search for botanicals used in the treatment of gout. His notes tell of the strangely beautiful flowers he had seen growing in a garden in Oaxaca: dahlias.
