Informal Decorative · 8–10"WhiteNetherlands

Cafe au Lait Supreme is an informal decorative dahlia that opens 8–10" blooms in white. In the garden, Cafe au Lait Supreme opens its broad, ruffled blooms to a rich buttercream white, each petal curling and twisting to catch the light. Where the original carries blush and mocha tones, this sport delivers a cleaner palette that reads as soft ivory up close and near-white from a distance.

Growing Cafe au Lait Supreme

Plant tubers in full sun once soil has warmed and frost risk has passed. Pinch the central shoot at four to six leaf pairs to encourage branching and more stem production. Stake early, as plants can reach four feet or taller in good soil. Water deeply but infrequently, and switch to a low-nitrogen feed once buds begin to form.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Staking recommended once buds set
