Extra dahlia tubers for sale! It takes a bit to warm up here in northern Wisconsin but will be able to start shipping mid-April. Because of this, you can be sure that the tubers you purchase from me have survived winter storage and will have visible eyes or even small sprouts. I’m excited to share some new (to me) varieties as well this year.
Local pick-up in Ashland, WI or shipping (US Only) for $10 on all orders. Message me on Facebook or email mary@marysgardengrows.com with any questions. Also, I’ve added some notes below with more details as well.
Again this year, I’m using a “store” option so I can better track orders and what I have remaining. Please follow this link and if you have any issues, just let me know! Price listed is for one tuber unless noted otherwise. If local pick-up in Ashland, you can either pay through the checkout, use Venmo later or bring cash. Also, if local pick-up, make sure to select the pick-up option for shipping so there’s nothing charged for that. I’ll reach out to you to arrange a pick-up time. THANK YOU!
All tubers have sprouts and/or visible eyes – You will not have to guess if these tubers are viable! They are from healthy stock to the best of my knowledge. I am very careful with sanitation of my tools when dividing tubers and discard anything that looks suspicious.
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.
