Dahlia update for 2024
We have a bit of a change for this year and will have a pre sale on MAY 22nd 2024 at 7.30pm
We are super excited to be releasing a number of our own new varieties this year as we work towards growing predominantly the dahlias we have bred. Though we will keep some of the tried and true varieties we will be making more space for breeding and cultivating our own special varieties.
We are being even more ruthless this year with any stock that we are not happy with. All our plants have been grown for at least one season on our property and we do not import any tubers.
Note - not all varieties we are growing will be available as we are building up our stock. We are also developing our own varieties from seed, some of these will be available and some we will be keeping to build stock numbers.
We will store your tubers sold in our presale till august when we start dividing and once completed we start shipping. We estimate this to be late August early September. Any excess stock will be listed then also.
Images used are all of our own stock
If we do make a mistake in labeling ( hopefully not! But it can happen) and you receive the wrong variety when it flowers, we will replace this for you the following season. If we have discontinued the variety a voucher to the value of your tuber/s will be issued.
Due to the organic nature we can not guarantee that every tuber will grow but we do our utmost best to ensure you receive healthy and viable tubers with eyes. For this reason we do not refund or replace tubers that fail to grow as growing conditions are out of our hands.
One of the reasons for breeding our own varieties is we have more control over plant health and diseases. We all know that dahlias are susceptible to a number of viruses and bacterial diseases
We are highly fastidious about plant health, every set of snips are sanitised between cutting plants, not just when its the blooms we cut but also cutting back before digging, then also when we divide our tuber clumps. Any plant that exhibits any virus symptoms gets booted out. We also don't add any of the foliage and stems to our compost as a precaution.
As with all plant material these are sent at the buyers risk.
