**Care Guide:**
 
1. **Soil Preparation**: Ensure well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Amend with compost for optimal growth.
   
2. **Planting**: Plant tubers in spring (September to November in New Zealand) after the last frost, approximately 15-30 cm deep and 60 cm apart.
 
3. **Watering**: Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
 
4. **Fertilizing**: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage robust blooms.
 
5. **Staking**: Support taller varieties with stakes to prevent breakage in windy conditions.
 
6. **Deadheading**: Regularly remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming throughout the season.
 
7. **Winter Care**: In colder climates, lift tubers after the first frost, store them in a cool, dry place, and replant in spring.
 
**When to Plant in New Zealand**: Plant Café Au Lait dahlia tubers in spring (September to November) when the soil has warmed and the risk of frost has passed for optimal growth and bloom production.
 
Embrace the beauty and resilience of Café Au Lait dahlias in your garden, and enjoy their stunning blooms year after year!
