What happens after I put my tuber in the ground?

As long as the tuber has a live “eye” or sprout, it will produce a full-sized dahlia plant in the first season with the appropriate size bloom and plant height for its classification.

What is an “eye”?

An eye is a specialized set of cells that will go on to produce next year’s plant/s. On a tuber or clump of tubers, the eyes will look like small, raised white, yellow, and sometimes pinkish pimples. They are found on thickened toughened collar material around the stem of the plant from which tubers have grown, and are sometimes found on the underside of a clump. You must have an eye to produce plant growth.

I ordered multiple varieties of tubers and they’re all different sizes. Will all the tubers produce plants and flowers?

Tuber size has no relationship to final plant size. Although some tubers are as big as baking potatoes, others are smaller than a pinky finger. This means that tuber size is only a function of the particular dahlia variety and not a predictor of the size of the plant or blooms. 

Nothing grew out of my tuber. What happened?

If the tuber doesn’t produce a plant, we ask that you dig it up. If it’s rotted, it was overwatered, and we do not replace it. If it looks fine but didn’t grow, it probably didn’t have an eye. We do check each tuber for an eye before we ship, but we’re human and could have made a mistake. That’s our fault, and we will replace it.

My tubers are not rotten and need to be replaced. What are my next steps?

Visit our Contact Us page and send us an email. State the variety name and the reason for the return in your email. Return the original tuber to us by August 30th of the same growing season. Tubers will only be replaced one time from the original purchase date. There will be no cash refunds.

How many times will you replace my tubers?

Tubers will only be replaced one time from the original purchase date.

I planted my tuber but it’s not the variety I originally ordered. What do I do?

Visit our Contact Us page and send us an email. State the variety name and the reason for the return in your email. Return the original tuber to us by August 30th of the same growing season. Tubers will only be replaced one time from the original purchase date. There will be no cash refunds.
