We could not be more excited to finally offer up our dahlia tubers! All of the varieties that you will find in the online shop were grown right here on the farm. These are of the same planting stock that we will use ourselves this coming year.
A few years back, a control element in our tuber storage area failed. It was catastrophic to our original tuber stock, eliminating everything we had built up. We have been working hard to rebuild this crop to make the tuber shop possible.
Each spring we plant one individual tuber. These potato looking fingers grow more within the soil, so that by fall, we can dig them up and divide. One tuber might yield 6 or more new tubers that can then again be planted. This process repeats itself every year.
Nothing about harvesting dahlia tubers is short work. It takes us weeks to get everything out of the ground and prepared for winter storage. Every clump is hand dug with a shovel, rinsed, cured, divided, and finally, put into storage where they receive daily checks.
Our tubers are available for purchase in the Online Shop this Sunday, January 23rd 2022 @ 10 AM EST. Each order will contain planting instructions and ship (U.S. residents only) early April once the risk of cold damage has passed.
((CLOSED)) To celebrate we are doing a dahlia giveaway! Winner receives a box of a dozen dahlias that will include all different varieities from our collection. To enter, simply leave a comment below and share what new flower varieties you hope to grow this year.
*Please note, this giveaway is open to U.S. residents only. The winner will be announced Friday, 1/21. Congratulations to Mary-Kay Saraiva!

I have a perennial garden that I’ve been working on for years. I love dahlias but never planted them that is my goal for this year.
