Thank you so much to everyone who has placed dahlia tuber orders! I can’t tell you how much it means to me. We appreciate you supporting our small farm and small business- it really does make a difference in our family’s life.

We have about 34 listings still in stock, but thanks to you guys stock is running low! Lots of amazing cutting varieties and garden workhouses are still available - the true backbones of a flower garden.

We’ll be restocking in February or march, but not everything will be restocked due to our supply.

Thank you so much!!!

📸 Dahlia Linda’s Baby

Such a sweet peachy pink ball variety!

Linda’s Baby is a tried and true dahlia - tons of blooms, great for cutting, and a prolific tuber producer. She’s a great starting point for your cut flower garden!

We have lots to share in our sale tomorrow.

01/21/2025

As a reminder, our website will shut down tonight at 9PM EST as we prepare for our sale Thursday. It will be password protected until Thursday at 3PM EST. Our newsletter subscribers do have early access to the sale, so look out for that email tomorrow night with your code. If you have some must have cultivars on your list, make sure to get those tabs open today before we close it down.

I’m so excited to share our tubers with you this Spring and can’t wait to see the dahlias bloom in your gardens!

Taking a break from dahlia mania to remind you that Spring is just a short 60 days away 💕 I can’t wait for Spring Flower Club to begin!

01/16/2025

Just added to our tuber sale!

📸 Dahlia Bracken Rose (US Version)

This is old news, but turns out that dahlia we all know and love here in the US is not in fact Bracken Rose. You may find her listed as Bracken Rose (US Version) or under the name Bracken Ruse this season.

Our Bracken Ruse plants were planted in part shade last summer which gave us a gorgeous light dusty rose shade instead of a more vibrant rose color. And I love this paler version! A lovely ball form dahlia. Reminds of KA’s Cinder Rose minus the golden picotee.

01/15/2025

Our tuber sale is 8 days away!

Highlighting our Cut Flower Collection which will be in our 1.23 sale for the gardeners who are new to dahlias or are looking to start growing them as cut flowers.

The Collection includes 4 of our most prolific bloomers and tuber producers. They’re also our most used in bouquets. These ball form dahlias are known to have a longer vase life, and they look amazing in the garden.

Plants are super healthy and strong, and you’ll have lots of new tubers to plant the following season. If you’ve never grown dahlias before, but want to try, I’d start with these!

Included in the Collection:
🌺 Cornel - Red
🌺 Cornel Bronze - Bronze & Terracotta (my fav)
🌺 Caitlin’s Joy - Purple & Magenta
🌺 Linda’s Baby - Pink & Peach

This collection would make a great gift for the flower gardener in your life too!

All tubers in our sale will ship in April to the lower 48 💕 Check out our catalog at the link in my bio.

Re-highlighting another impressive dahlia that will be in our upcoming sale.

✨CUPCAKE✨

Gorgeous fluffy pink petals with a yellow undertone. Centers are a darker pink. This bloom was from early in the season, centers do close up after your first bloom. I loved this one so much, and can’t wait to grow it again in 2025!

The truth about the tubers - this variety produces small, thin necked tubers that can be difficult to store. We haven’t lost any yet this winter, I used the Saran Wrap method to keep them strong and they look as good as the day I dug them up! Keep this in mind if you’ve got this one in your list 😉

01/12/2025

It’s official…Our dahlia tuber shop opens on 1.23.25!

I’m still updating our catalog & policies, and plan to have everything finalized by 1/19. But you can browse now at the link in my bio!

Newsletter subscribers, make sure to check your email for a perk 😉

Some key details:
* Shop opens at 3PM EST!
* Spring shipping to the US lower 48
* We’re a small farm! Availability will be limited.
* I am listing about half of our stock, and only tubers that have visible eyes at this time. We’ll have a restock closer to spring with more varieties. I want to make sure we get through storage safely 🙏 better to be safe than sorry!
*Local pickup this Spring will be offered, but we’ll only have shipping available on the site. Send me an email with your order number, and we’ll refund your shipping costs at pickup. This makes it less confusing for the bulk of shoppers at checkout, as we expect most orders will be for shipment! We’ll provide a couple of pickup dates this Spring.

This is our first ever sale and it’s extremely exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. I’ve been through the high and the lows of dahlia wars myself, and while most of our varieties this year will be tried & true and cutting varieties, it still sucks to not get what you wanted. Let’s all remember to be kind - sellers are doing their best to make things go smoothly, but supply & demand runs the show.

P.S. What I wouldn’t do for a bucket of fresh cut dahlias right now 🙈

Dahlia #8 that I can’t wait to grow again next season!

✨Valley Tawny ✨

We experienced some major color shifts throughout the season with this one, which made it a really fun cultivar to grow. That may not be your thing, or it may just be my climate, so keep it in mind!

Season started off very pink, mellowed out to a perfect buff peach, and ended with a peach and bronze vibe. I love how the centers are darker (reminds me of wine eyed Jill!) petals have a bit of a fringe at the ends, but this isn’t classified as a lacinated form, it’s a ball!

Want to grow this one next season? It’ll be in our upcoming tuber sale!

01/08/2025

Dahlia #7 on our grow again list!

⭐️ 20th Ave Memory ⭐️

Gorgeous ball variety with an impressive vase life! This one is perfect for wedding work, with its white and blush pink and yellow tones. It’s extremely bug bite resistant in our beds - unlike most white dahlias, which show bloom imperfections easily.

I’ve found all of the 20th Ave dahlias to do really well in our hot and humid summers, as well as in the cooler months - they are really hardy plants!
I’m sad that I only planted one of these last season. We’re growing out most of our stock this year, but I hope to have a few extras available in our January our march sales.

01/07/2025

#6 - Hollyhill Serenity

My first waterlily form dahlia, and I’m happy to say we’ll be growing a lot more waterlilies in 2025! This one is here to stay too, with its yellow, orange and pink light blended color.

Waterlilies are so special, as the petals cup as the daylight fades and open again in the sunshine. They’re magical!

Hollyhill Serenity will be in our tuber sale, though stock is limited this season.

Dahlia Day 5!

📸 Bloomquist York

Like many reds and darker dahlias, I had the hardest time capturing this cultivar well in photos - it’s more of an experience it yourself flower, photos really don’t do it justice.

This plant is TALL and wide (it got to 7x4 feet easily) but it produces some amazing stems.

Blooms are large at 6“ across, with an incredible mix of dark reds and burgundy in the center. Outer petals have a nice ombré effect to a lighter red/sometimes almost pink or white.

Cannot wait to grow this one again, it was stunning.

We’ll have this one in our upcoming tuber sale 🙂 tubers are productive and very large!

Dahlia day 4 💓

📸 KA’s Cinder Rose

I can’t not grow this beauty again.

There isn’t another cultivar like it! It makes the cut for my personal gardens in 2025.

It was an outstanding performer bloom wise - some variation in color throughout the season like many dahlias, but always beautiful. In the late season, it takes on an incredible dusty rose and lavender coloring. And I love the golden picotee detail!

We have very limited tuber stock of this cultivar, but I will list our excess closer to spring when they eye up.

01/04/2025

Day 3 on our must grow again list -

✨Dahlia AC Twisp ✨

Tall plants, with the fluffiest, most exquisite blooms. I really loved this one!

I planted this cultivar from cuttings only and they all made amazing tubers clumps! I haven’t divided our stock yet, but hope it will eye up in time for our sale. If not, we’ll stock it later in the winter or in early spring!

01/03/2025

Another cultivar that not only made the cut for 2025, but we’ll be growing more of…

📸 Dahlia Sweet Sanne

This one will be in our tuber sale, and makes gorgeous, plump, big tubers!

I wish I could grow a whole row of Sweet Sanne.

Pink & peach with Smokey vibes ✅
Dark stems and foliage ✅
Long stems and large flower heads ✅
Good vase life ✅
Healthy and prolific ✅

I’ve never been a pink girly but this one has me hooked, and we’re growing a lot more pink in 2025!

01/02/2025

📸 Dahlia Night Silence

Such a stunner! And I’m a sucker for her moody palette, dark stems and dark foliage. This is definitely one my favorites.

Unfortunately, tuber production was poor for us on this cultivar this year, so we’ll be holding our stock to grow out more cuttings this coming season.

Things I didn’t know about this cultivar - the plants are on the shorter side, and it was difficult to get good long stems and cuts from it. But as a garden dahlia, there’s nothing better! We’ll be growing as many as we can fit in 2025.

2024 was a year of challenges, failures, successes, little joys and SO many flowers. Wishing you all a beautiful 2025 from our little flower farm. See you in the New Year!

Fall is for planting 🍁 If you want showstopping blooms in your garden next Spring, it’s almost time to plant them! Our Fall Bulb Sale (finally) went live this morning. Quantities are very limited this season, as we are tucking the majority of our bulbs into the ground for Spring. This sale is for local pickup only, with pickup options in Avon, Unionville & Bristol CT in late October. Visit the link in comments to shop the sale! Thank you to @bounom_bakery & @brunoscafect for hosting us 💕

SOLD OUT

Growers choice bouquets, eucalyptus shower bundles and DIY buckets are SOLD OUT for September! We’ll see how things go with first frost in October - perhaps we’ll have some flowers to share 💕 Don’t forget we’ll be at white memorial next Saturday 9/28 with our final bloom bar of the season!

Thank you all so much for choosing us this Mother’s Day. It was my first major holiday event with the farm, and I’m so grateful for all of you. When you support a small business it really does make the biggest difference. I can’t wait to go bigger and better next year 💕

A cooler sneak peek 👀 We’ll be at Bela Vida & BouNom tomorrow with fresh cut flowers 💐 if you haven’t gotten her flowers yet, here’s your chance!

In the rush this morning I forgot to take photos of our Mother’s Day Preorders from today, but here’s a peek 😍 so colorful and cheerful for all the Moms out there! Bristol preorders, your pickup is tomorrow. And if you didn’t preorder but still need flowers, we will have retail available at BouNom in Avon tomrorow. Venmo only, first come first served.

We pull tulips early, at what the flower farming world calls ‘color crack stage.’ A lot of people think flower farm and they think beauty - and yes, we produce beautiful stems, but if you can see them blooming, they’re too late to use as a cut flower! Instead, our customers get to enjoy a longer vase life and watch the magic that is double tulips opening. And I get to take a few trial handfuls into the house 😉

Sowing onions! Onions are some of the easiest seeds to sow - I just broadcast them into an open flat and lightly tamp down and cover. The roots are thick and fibrous and easy to pull apart when it’s time to plant out. Onions are such an amazing companion plant for flowers! I like to some between my perennials and into annual beds to repel pests and even rodents from eating our young plants. Homegrown always tastes better too. Seeds from @fruition_seeds - Rossa do Milano is my all time favorite onion!
