Height: 40-46"
Introduced: 2020
This champagne blush dahlia is truly gorgeous and a perfect cut flower - it's stems are strong but not too thick and this color works with everything!
Caramel Antique is an early bloomer and checks all the boxes, except for one: tubers. This feller is tricky when it comes to tuber storage - its not just us! These tubers are long, skinny, and don't store well. If you are new to tuber storage when the season ends, this one will need some extra care. If you are purchasing with propagation in mind, cuttings for backup are a good solution.
Dahlia ‘Caramel Antique’ was bred by A.C. Koot (Netherlands) and first introduced in 2020.

Grow & Care
Grow & Care
Dahlias are tender perennials, vigorous and fast growing. Dahlia tubers must be lifted for the winter from the ground in zones 7 and lower.
Planting:
Dahlias require soil that drains freely. Clay soil should be amended. Planting in raised beds can help alleviate moisture concerns. Tuber loss due to moisture rot is the leading cause for plant loss.
Plant 6" deep. Dig hole at least twice the width of your tuber to reduce soil compaction.
Label and stake your Dahlia at planting. Tubers do not need to be watered unless you are dealing with especially dry conditions. Whatever Mother Nature provides will be enough.
Care:
When Dahlias reach 10-12", the center tip should be pinched. This will create a bushier plan and yield more blooms. Without pinching, the plant will grow one tall, thick central stalk.
Your Dahlias will bloom from mid-summer until frost. Keep spent blooms trimmed and you'll enjoy repeat blooms all season long.
