If you subscribe to email updates, you received the original tuber availability list last week. This updated list reflects what remains available for Fall shipping.

While I typically sell dahlia tubers only in the spring, this year's abundant harvest has made it possible to offer a limited Fall sale at discounted prices so my storage area is not stuffed to the brim (and I don't have to spend countless hours updating the website - yahoo). Fall-shipped tubers will require storage on your end until planting time.

Details for the Spring 2027 tuber sale will be shared with email subscribers in the coming months. Thank you for your continued support of my small business. I have dug hundreds of dahlias and the tubers are ready to ship on Monday, Nov 9, no later! 🌸

𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐮𝐲......𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞:
-Priority shipping on 11/9 only within the USA, or pick up in Alsip, IL (any time) or Kalona, IA (Saturday, Nov 14 only).
-If it's freezing in your area, do not purchase.
-Shipping costs are calculated based on your order.
-Pay via Venmo, cash, or can send invoice to pay by cc thru email.
🌸A minimum tuber purchase of $30 please.
-Not responsible for shipping temperatures or storage failure.

#ɪʏᴋʏᴋ Who has started their "2027 dahlias most wanted" list? What should I grow that you absolutely loved this year?

10/27/2026

New territory... and it feels downright wrong.
I have never dug my dahlias before the first hard frost turns everything into a sad, blackened memory. Yet here I am, lifting tubers while there are still blooms everywhere. It feels so weird!
Blooms. And tubers. Huge, massive clumps. Both at the same time.
Usually this ritual involves layers of clothing, gloves, a hat, cold fingers, a lot of muttering, and a few snowflakes. Today? It's 68 degrees, overcast, and absolutely glorious. I hardly know how to behave.
The plants themselves are looking a little tired. They've spent every ounce of energy putting on a spectacular season-long show and they're clearly running on fumes. But underground? They're packing some serious hardware.
I took a break from digging to cut a few blooms and just stand there admiring them. It felt right to soak in a little more color and cherish the last vivid moments of the garden before winter closes the curtain for another year.
And let's be honest, not everything got the memo. Hollyhill Tarantula is still out there acting like it's peak August. That's the big IC red bloom in my hand, and as I stand here counting, that beast has 17 open blooms and 7+ buds still waiting in the wings.
Some dahlias are winding down.
Hollyhill Tarantula? It's grabbing the microphone, demanding an encore, and refusing to leave the stage.
Holdin' on. 🌸💪

Allium, which is a perennial that Spring pollinators love, is a wonderful companion for dahlias and now is the time to plant them. Plant once, and let them do the rest.

You don’t need rows and rows of dahlias to create a beautiful display..tuck them into your landscape among perennials like Allium and mix in some annuals. Just use my height guide in the photos and plant dahlias and Allium accordingly.

Why do they work so well together?
🌸 Alliums bloom in late spring and early summer.
🌺 Dahlias take over from midsummer until frost.
🌿 Growing shorter dahlias in front of allium help conceal fading allium foliage.
☀️ Both thrive in full sun and well-drained soil.
🎨 Their contrasting flower shapes create a layered, season-long display.

Fall planting tips:
• Plant allium bulbs after the soil cools but before it freezes.
• Choose a sunny location with excellent drainage.
• Plant bulbs with pointed end up.
• Group them in small clusters for a natural, impactful look.
• Tuck bulbs between perennials or where dahlias will grow next summer.
• Water after planting, then let fall and winter weather do the rest.
• The broad leaves of tall allium will yellow when dying back. Best to not put them at the front of a border if you are concerned about this look. The leaves help nourish the bulb for next growing season. Lower growing plants, as I mentioned shorter dahlias, can be planted in front to hide this transformation.

Plant alliums now, and next year they’ll begin the show before your dahlias carry it through Fall!

When your morning sip & see turns into a cut & come in. Enjoying the last of the dahlia season. Still beautiful here. Will be digging and selling some tubers and seeds in coming weeks. Dahlia blooms slowing down, savoring the beauties til frost. Has the frost found you yet?🌸

I rarely get a glimpse of a true golden hour. Between the rooftops and the power lines, for a few minutes it was glorious. I ran out and snapped some picks when I saw the sherbet sky reflecting off windows of the flower shed. It has been beautiful weather and even hit 80, but in mere weeks the weather will change. I am cleaning the plots, cutting down dahlias, saving seeds, clearing vines, and will have some Fall dahlia tubers and seeds available. 🌱Will make an announcement, but message if u have interest. Thanks

Breaking News!
Emory Paul watch started 9/27 with the first ginormous bud starting to pop. Today, measuring at 12.5", I picked it to enjoy on the kitchen table. Always worth the wait. Just awesome🩷

Heirloom dahlias are a thing. This one was introduced to the world in 1941. It took me a few yrs to find and really happy she's here. Bloomed well all season, perfect under 2" pompon blooms💜
