Description

Drama arrives just as other summer perennials wane. Dahlia 'Café au Lait Twist' is another fabulous addition to the famed Café au Lait series, captivating with softest pink petals splashed with darker pink streaks that ripple through gently ruffled blooms, creating graceful movement and depth.

A true giant dinner plate dahlia, each spectacular flower can reach an impressive 20–25cm across. As late summer unfolds and other plants begin to fade, these dazzling dahlias take centre stage, bringing renewed vibrancy and drama to borders, beds, and containers. Their full, decorative blooms continue to perform right through to the first frosts, filling outdoor spaces with colour and elegance long after most flowers have finished. Cut a few stems for indoor arrangements and enjoy their sumptuous beauty both inside and out. Ultimate height: 1m (3.2ft). Ultimate spread: 60cm (24in).

How to Grow
Plant Dahlia tubers outdoors in April after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist well drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well rotted manure or compost. Plant tubers at a depth of 15cm (6") and water well. Alternatively, start tubers into growth in pots of compost in a frost free greenhouse. Transplant them into their final positions outdoors in June.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info

Feed and water lily bulbs regularly throughout the growing season, keeping them moist at all times. Deadhead faded blooms at the base of the flower where they join the stem to prevent the development of seed pods. When cutting lily flowers for indoor arrangements, it is important to leave a third of the stem intact in order to feed the bulb for the following year.

After flowering leave the stems intact until they begin to yellow in autumn. Reduce watering and move containers of lilies to a cool, frost free position over winter. Lilies grown in borders can be lifted, cleaned and stored for the winter, however in mild areas most lilies should survive outdoors provided that the soil is not too wet. A mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost should be applied in spring. Divide and repot container grown lilies into fresh compost every other year.
