Cafe Au Lait' Dahlia | Creekside Champions™

Macchiato cream petals with soft blush undertones.

Café Au Lait Dahlia is a large-flowering dahlia that blooms from midsummer through frost, offering layered, oversized blooms with soft, shifting color in garden beds and cutting gardens.

What You'll Use It For

A go-to when you want big blooms with a soft, romantic feel.

• Creating statement focal points in garden beds
• Building soft, romantic color palettes
• Cutting for large, full floral arrangements
• Adding volume and texture to borders
• Pairing with whites, greens, and muted tones for a layered look

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This one earns its place on presence alone. The blooms are massive, but what makes it special is the variation—no two flowers look exactly the same. Grown and selected by Creekside for real garden performance, it produces reliably on strong stems and keeps blooming through the season, even when conditions aren't perfect.
