The elusive CAL Mini, now Jolene, is a favorite in the garden for bigger blooms. Her ivory colors that can lean smokey pink are so pretty! Flowers are 6”+ on about 4” plants.

She is a late bloomer but pumps out perfect "Mini Cafés" one after the other. These blooms are not only easier to use in bouquets than the regular sized Café Au Lait flower, they are "flater and shallower"too. I'm loving her. An added bonus is she is easy-peasy to divide and store. Dreamland Flower Farm dahlias are sold as single tubers.

‘Jolene’ ranges from ivory to pearly-buff, depending on growing conditions. It makes a fantastic cut flower, as it has strong stems and seems to outlast other dahlias in the vase. It offers a similar range in color as Cafe au Lait, but is more compact both in flower and plant size, and features a more uniform petal arrangement.

Cafe Au Lait Mini (aka Jolene) is a prolific dahlia with a smaller bloom size than her namesake - the queen of dahlias - that makes her so much easier to work into arrangements, all with that heavenly cream blush coloring.

Cafe Au Lait Mini is a super unique dahlia. It is a smaller, more manageable size bloom than the queen of dahlias. Some call her Dahlia Jolene and some Cafe Au Lait Mini.

So, apparently Cafe Au Lait Mini & Jolene are the same now? Either way, BOTH were beautiful this year and I will 100% be squeezing in as many of them into my garden as possible next year. Blooms varied from white to cream and sometimes even a beautiful, dusty pink.
