Dahlia Yellow Eyed Jill

Dahlia Café au Lait is perhaps the most famous dahlia in the world. With its large, full flowers and soft shades of cream, beige, and coffee, it instantly brings a calm, luxurious atmosphere to the garden. Each flower is uniquely colored, which makes it so special.

This dahlia comes from our collaboration with Dobbe Flowers. At the nursery in Aerdenhout, Theo Dobbe – at 83 years old – still works daily alongside his son Patrick. From selection to cultivation, everything is done with care in open ground. You can see the result: strong tubers and plants that bloom richly and reliably.

When to plant?

Plant dahlia tubers from mid-April, preferably after the last frost (usually early May). If you want to start earlier, you can pre-grow the tubers indoors or in a greenhouse.

What can you expect?

From one strong dahlia tuber grows a powerful plant that continues to bloom all summer long. Expect around 20 to over 50 flowers per plant. By regularly cutting the flowers, the plant keeps producing new buds and extends the blooming period.

Why choose Dahlia Café au Lait?

• Directly from the grower (Dobbe Flowers)
• Strong tubers, grown in open ground
• Very large, full flowers
• Rich bloom from June to October
• Perfectly pairs with roses and other soft tones

You are warmly welcome to visit our store to see the tubers for yourself — this is one of those dahlias that everyone falls for as soon as they see it.

Roses in pots

A potted rose is a rose plant that has already been grown in a pot and is delivered with a well-developed root system. These roses are ready to be planted directly in the garden or in a larger pot, without having to wait for root growth. This makes the potted rose ideal for planting throughout the year, especially from May through October.

Roses with bare roots

Bare-root roses – also called root roses – are rose plants delivered without a pot or soil. These roses are dormant and can be planted directly in open ground. The best time to plant a root rose is in autumn or early spring, when the soil is still moist and the temperature mild.

At Belle Epoque we supply bare-root roses from November through April. Thanks to the well-developed root system and the right planting conditions, these roses grow vigorously into healthy and bloom-rich bushes or climbing roses.

Products are shipped directly from the nursery every Monday and Wednesday. By delivering only twice a week, we reduce logistical emissions and optimise our processes. This benefits both the quality of our products and the climate.
