OUR TUBERS & BLOOMS
FROM THE HEART OF OUR GARDEN TO YOURS!
OUR TUBERS
Want beautiful show-stopping dahlias? It all comes down to happy tubers!
Our tubers have spent at least 2 full season soaking up the sun and rain in our fields, proving they've got what it takes to thrive. We carefully hand-pick every tuber with a focus on strong eyes and disease resistance, making sure only top-notch stock leaves our farm.
We double-check every single specimen before sending it your way so you get healthy, happy tubers ready to get growing and turn heads in your garden!
Once they arrive, keep them in a cool, dry spot until planting day—then sit back and get ready for some wild Dahlia magic!
TUBER CARE
Caring for dahlia bulbs during the off-season involves a few key steps to ensure their longevity and bloom potential for the next growing season. After the first frost, it's important to dig up the tubers, clean them, and let them dry. Store the tubers in a cool, dry place over winter, and avoid moisture to prevent rot. Before the next planting season, inspect the bulbs for any signs of damage or disease. With proper off-season care, your dahlias will be ready to thrive and bloom beautifully once again.
FAQ
How do I plant Dahlia Tubers?
Plant your Dahlia Tubers in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole about 4-6 inches deep and place the Tuber inside with the "eye" facing up. Cover with soil and water generously.
When is the best time to plant dahlia Tubers?
The ideal time to plant Dahlia Tubers is in the spring after the last frost, when the soil temperature reaches about 15°C
How often should I water my Dahlias?
Dahlias need a consistent watering schedule. Water them 2-3 times a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
What kind of fertilizer should I use for dahlias?
Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer or one specifically formulated for flowers. Apply it at planting and then again when the plants start to bloom.
Do dahlias need to be pinched?
Yes, pinching off the tips of the main stem when the plant has about 4 sets of leaves will encourage bushier growth and more blooms.
Can I grow dahlias in pots?
Absolutely! Make sure to choose a large pot with drainage holes and use a high-quality potting mix.
How do I overwinter dahlia Tubers?
A: In colder climates, dig up the tubers after the first frost, clean them, and store them in a cool, dry place until spring.
What if my Dahlia is not blooming?
Ensure it's getting enough sunlight, the soil is well-drained, and you're following a proper fertilization schedule. Overwatering or too much nitrogen can inhibit blooming.
