Extra dahlia tubers for sale! Local pick-up in Ashland, WI only at this time as all remaining dahlias are potted up so I am no longer shipping this year. I will be having a dahlia sale at our home on Saturday, May 24th or you may order here on website (link below or click “Shop” from menu) and arrange pick-up at another time. Message me on Facebook or email mary@marysgardengrows.com with any questions.
All tubers have sprouts and/or visible eyes and are from healthy stock to the best of my knowledge.
All sales are final so please take care to not plant your tubers outside too early. In our northern Wisconsin zone 4b/5a, dahlias usually shouldn’t be planted outside until the 1st or 2nd week of June as they do not like cold, wet soil. Waking them up early allows me to have blooms around the end of July all the way to our first frost/hard freeze. Once you receive your tubers, if it is too early to plant them outside, I’d recommend potting them up and placing them in a sunny location – either keeping them indoors or at least bringing them inside at night until the night-time temperatures are safely staying above freezing. In addition to being planted in the ground, dahlias also do well in containers. The taller varieties will need some kind of support.
Dahlias very generously create new tubers each year but here in Wisconsin, they must be dug up after a hard frost/freeze (the foliage will turn black) and stored in a location where they will not freeze but still cool enough to stay dormant. Or they can be treated as an annual if you don’t want to go through that trouble. I have tried a lot of different storage methods and would be happy to share my experience – just ask! There are also many great videos on YouTube too.
