Be the First In Line for Dahlia Tubers

Our NJ-grown tubers go on sale in November. Join the waitlist to get an email the moment the sale goes live, before we post it anywhere else.

These are the same dahlias that filled our bouquets, subscriptions and wedding work this season. Every tuber was grown in our Zone 7a field, dug by hand, and checked before it was listed.

If you saw a bloom at the stand and wished you could grow it yourself, this is your chance. Quantities are very limited, and once a variety is gone, it's gone until next Fall.

How It Works

Pick your varieties. Each listing shows the bloom color, form, size and plant height.

Choose local pickup at checkout. Tubers are picked up at the farm, 47 Shea Ave, Franklinville, NJ. We don't ship tubers.

Grab them during a pickup window. We'll email your pickup details after you order.

Store them over winter, plant in May. Every order comes with our simple storage and planting card.

Dahlia Tuber FAQs

Do you ship dahlia tubers?

Not this year. All tubers are local pickup at the farm in Franklinville, NJ.

When do I pickup my dahlia tubers?

After you order, we'll email you a pickup window. Pickups run Fridays from 4-6pm and Saturdays from 10am-12pm.

What’s an “eye” on a dahlia tuber?

The “eye” is the small bump near the stem where next year's sprout grows. A tuber without one won't grow, so we check every tuber before it's listed. They are most protruding/swollen in the Spring, when the temps are warmer and they’re getting ready to “wake up” (sprout).

Will my dahlia tuber bloom in the first year?

Yes. Plant in late April/early May (after the threat of frost has passed) and most varieties start blooming in mid to late summer, then keep going until frost. You can wake your tubers up indoors with a heated area (in late March/early April) for earlier blooms.

Do I really have to store it all Winter?

Yes. Dahlias can't go in the ground until the soil warms in Spring. Our storage card makes it simple, and it takes about five minutes a month.

Can I grow these in a pot?

Shorter varieties do well in a large container, at least 12 to 14 inches wide. Check the plant height on each listing.

Is there a limit per customer?

Yes, 1 tuber per variety, per person. Quantities are small so more people get a chance to grow them.

I’m in the Garden Club with the Franklin Township Library. Did I miss my first pick?

Club members get a private sale at the November meeting before tubers go online. Whatever's left is listed here.
