Look at her! I was so excited to first grow this glowing pink waterlily dahlia in 2024. She has 4-6" blooms that curl up in the evening and look like peonies. Plants grow to 48-54". The tubers will eye up early and produce a lot of cuttings. I averaged 1-2 eyed tubers per plant in the first year growing (but had many tuber sprouts from the two starting tubers). This is a picture from Mary Strolle. This was grown from a tuber sprout on the initial tubers. Thanks Mary!
Product Info
During the winter months, tubers are stored in a dormant state. Depending on the tuber variety, weather, and availability of storage medium, we store in plastic wrap, or in vermiculate. We wake our tubers in February and March. This allows us to start our plants early so we have more mature plants that flower earlier during the Michigan growing season. We also propogate cuttings to increase stock. If you would like tubers earlier in the spring we offer pick-up at the farm.
Return & Refund Policy
We are a boutique specialty cut flower farm. We take care to ship tubers with visible eyes and no growth limiting damage. Tubers are living storage stems and can get a little dry (and wrinkle) and or get a small bit soft to the touch. Each variety handles winter storage differently and wakes at it's own pace. We will not send tubers if we are not confident in their viability and the presence of an eye or sprout. If you have a concern, please contact us immediately with a photograph. Our tubers and flowers are meant to bring happiness. We will work with you to resolve any concerns.
Shipping Info
Tubers can be shipped in late spring without a threat of freezing. Shipping is risky from November to April. We will ship via priority mail in April.
