Special Features
 

Plant tuberous roots in spring, about four inches deep. Space at least one foot (30 cm) apart, more for large, spreading varieties. Dahlias are extremely frost-sensitive, and must be dug and stored over winter.

Features of Species or Group:
  The classic Dahlia is an all time favorite. The decorative Dahlia has a fully double flower head. Striking vivid colors which you can use to brighten up or accentuate any part of your garden. Or combine many colors to create a splendid ocean of jewel-like blooms.

Features of Genus:
  Dahlias belong to the most popular plants because of their long flowering period and splendid flowers. Interestingly enough, this widely cultivated flower, with its many species, cultivars and varieties, had to be discovered twice. The first description was written in 1615 in a series of books about animals and plants from "New Spain" (modern day Mexico), where the Aztecs cultivated them as ornamental garden plants. Yet it wasn't until 1789 that the director of the Royal Gardens in Madrid received some seeds from the Spanish director of the Botanical Garden in Mexico. Two years later, he described a half double, purple variety and named it after a Swedish botanist, Andreas Dahl. Many experiments followed and many species and cultivars were developed, giving Dahlias the popularity and wide spread admiration they enjoy today.

How to Plant Dahlia Bulbs?
 

To plant Dahlia Bulbs the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Cafe Au Lait Dahlia should be planted roughly 4" deep and 12" apart from one another.

Note: For some bulbs you may not be able to tell which way is up or down, in these cases just plant them on their side and they will adjust on their own.

When to Plant Cafe Au Lait Dahlia?
  Dahlia Bulbs are normally planted Mid Spring, and most Cafe Au Lait Dahlia will begin to flower sometime in Late Summer.
