Plant once the soil has warmed in late spring, planting tubers 4–6 inches deep. Allow adequate space for growth by planting 12–18 inches apart. Avoid watering until shoots have emerged above the soil surface. Once plants reach approximately 12 inches in height, pinch back the growing tips to encourage branching and increased bloom production. Fertilize regularly throughout the growing season for optimal performance.

Every dahlia purchase includes a detailed planting and growing instruction card from our farm.

Harvesting

Harvest when blooms are approximately three-quarters open, before the rear petals begin to develop a papery texture. Cut stems deeply to encourage longer, stronger growth. When kept out of direct sunlight and provided with fresh water changed daily, dahlias have an average vase life of up to five days.

Our Guarantee

We inspect every tuber before shipping. Each tuber is guaranteed to have at least one viable eye. If there are damages from shipping, please contact us within 24 hours of receiving your order. We are not responsible for any conditions the tubers are exposed to during storage or growing care once they leave the farm.

Shipping

Due to export restrictions, shipping is available within Canada only. All orders are shipped via Canada Post or Purolator. Dahlia tubers will begin shipping mid to late April, once weather conditions permit and the risk of freezing temperatures has passed. We can not accommodate early shipping requests.

Refunds

Due to the perishable and seasonal nature of dahlia tubers, all sales are final. We do not offer refunds, returns or exchanges. We carefully inspect and package all tubers prior to shipping to ensure quality at the time they leave our farm. Please read terms & conditions.
