The giant Dinnerplate blossoms of Dahlia ‘Café au Lait’ blend gorgeous and unusual tones of pink, mocha, and cream, which helps explain why this flower is a favorite of both gardeners and floral designers. The size and beauty of these blossoms makes them a headliner in any garden or bouquet. Grow them in the company of their equally large sibling Dinnerplate Dahlias, ‘Café au Lait Rose’ and ‘Café au Lait Royal,’ or surround them with flowers that are smaller in scale and varied in form to complement and frame the stunning blooms. Here are some of our favorite companions for Dahlia ‘Café au Lait’ in gardens and vases.
