Informal Decorative · 3–4"Pink

Late-season borders glow when this smaller-format dahlia opens its layered petals in shifting tones of cream, blush, and pale pink. Where Cafe au Lait commands a dinner plate, this variety fits neatly into hand-tied bouquets and mixed arrangements without losing any of that signature champagne warmth. A prolific producer on tall, arching stems, it fills the late-summer garden with color long after earlier performers have faded.

Growing Cafe au Lait Mini

Pinch once when shoots reach about knee height to encourage branching and more blooms per plant. Stake early because stems grow tall and can lean in wind before they stiffen. Water deeply two to three times per week and keep soil consistently moist through the heat of summer. Cut blooms just as they reach three-quarters open and condition in cool water right away for the best results.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
