TinTinTinFlowers Café Au Lait Dahlia Seeds

While these seeds are open-pollinated and non-GMO, dahlias grown from seed can sometimes show slight variations in color and petal form compared to the parent plant. This genetic diversity is part of the charm, though you may not get an exact clone of the classic Café Au Lait variety.

These dahlias are perfectly suited for containers, provided you use a pot that is at least 12 to 16 inches deep to accommodate their root system. Ensure your container has good drainage and receives full sun for the best bloom production.

This variety is considered deer-resistant, meaning deer typically find the taste and texture of the foliage unappealing. However, if deer pressure in your area is extremely high, no plant is entirely deer-proof, so keep an eye on them during the early growth stages.

Because these are grown from seed as annuals, they will complete their lifecycle in one season. You do not need to dig up tubers for winter storage, as the plant will naturally die back after the first frost.

Each packet contains 40 seeds. While germination rates depend on soil temperature and moisture levels, these seeds are selected for high viability and are straightforward to start indoors or directly in the garden once the danger of frost has passed.

Absolutely. These dahlias are prized for their long, sturdy stems and large, ruffled blooms, making them an excellent choice for fresh-cut floral arrangements. Cutting the flowers regularly will also encourage the plant to produce more blooms throughout the season.
