Just listed our rooted dahlia cuttings on our website! If you feel like you want some new dahlia varieties in your garden- it’s not too late! We just listed 49 almost all new to us varieties of rooted cuttings. Many are available in limited quantities! First 50 orders get a FREE Creamy rooted cutting, our favorite ivory dahlia! These cuttings are only available for one week, then we close our shop so we can plant our fields! Happy shopping!
Two tulips Palmyra, with long graceful stems, and Foxtrot, with big peony like blooms are gracing the gardens right now. Did you plant tulips last fall? They are such a gift when they make their arrival.
Thinking of you arrangement. It’s such a joy to source all the flowers and greens from our farm. Now off to go deliver.
A portrait of spring. After walking the property yesterday, gathering a sampling of what is blooming right now, a big rain storm moved in ending with hail. It was kind of cozy feeling, I was at the dining room table with the boys gathered around and from seemingly out of nowhere the rain barreled in. Many times when it rains here in the PNW it is a soft rain that falls straight down. This was a heavy rain with huge rain drops coming down sideways in a downpour, followed with hail. It was reminiscent of the storms in the Midwest that I grew up with. And just like that it moved on and all was calm again. But today, in the daylight, I will go and see how the flowers fared feeling glad I picked what I did before the storm. Hopefully today I will also have time to make a spring arrangement with the bounty from yesterday. You never know what curveball Mother Nature will throw, it’s best to make hay while the sun shines! Are the bulbs blooming where you are?
The sunshine has brought forth blooms. So many pretty flowers. Spring had arrived and we couldn’t be happier! ❤️
Behind the scenes we are busy preparing for shipping. It can be a stressful time, but what I love is how my 3 boys are helping sticker the bags, putting tubers and peat moss in each bag, and loading the crates back up with the prepared bags. This is my why, I grew up on a farm and cherish the memories of doing chores with my siblings, it’s something I’ve always been thankful for. Last night when my son asked do we get to help with packing boxes next, that was a win for me. Despite the stress of having to refund some tubers due to loss in storage, knowing some people will end up disappointed (and I will too because I want to please people, not disappoint), I choose to focus on the experience of raising kids and teaching them how to be a part of something bigger. Creating memories that will last a lifetime. Something I’ve learned recently is to ask myself, what would my future self (20 years from now) value in this situation? And I’ve learned the stresses and the troubles won’t matter in 20 years, but the time with the kids and family will. Try asking yourself that question, it really puts things into perspective!
One of my favorite colorways for dahlias. Crichton Honey, Sebastian, Linda’s Baby, and Jowey Winnie. Love them all.
What is your favorite colors? Do you collect all the dahlias in that colorway?
If you want to get started growing dahlias, now is the time to find the tubers you want to grow. We have so many beautiful dahlias in stock, it’s so frustrating shipping for tubers only to find everything sold out. I remember the first year I was searching my or tubers, it felt impossible to find any in stock. Now, there are many more farms and growers selling online which helps. I am looking forward to warm days and sunshine and fields full of dahlias. I have been shopping sales too and am so excited about the new varieties we will be growing. 2024 dahlia field will be beautiful! Click the link to shop our dahlias from our farm.
I dream of the dahlia fields this summer as I work on increasing our stock through cuttings. It is a process I really enjoy, there is something about new plant life that fulfills me. It is a miracle to take a cutting stick it in a rooting cube and watch the roots grow and develop over the course of a few weeks. We are transitioning to dahlias as our main focus, and it feels good. Our secondary crop is bearded iris. And finally a good selection of perennials already in the ground. My goal is to grow large amounts of the dahlias and cuttings that everyone wants to help ease up on dahlias wars. There is nothing more disappointing than going to a website and seeing everything but one or two varieties sold out - am I right? We actually have a lot of beautiful varieties in stock on our website, and we are focusing on adding more for you. That what drives me as we work on this new project. We want to make dahlia sales fun and rewarding for everyone. I think this dahlia is Clearview Peachy, isn’t she a beauty? I would love to hear your most wanted dahlia varieties, tell me in the comments below! 👇🏻
We are undertaking a pretty massive (for us) dahlia cuttings project this winter. We have about 160 clumps of dahlias we are taking cuttings from. Considering that each clump can produce 50-100 rooted cuttings, we are going to be able to ramp up the number of dahlias we grow and offer for sale. We have a lot of new to us varieties we are excited to add to our sale next year, and possibly this year if we have excess rooted cuttings. I can’t wait to see rows of all the new varieties in our dahlia fields. One thing I am also considering is only selling rooted cuttings of certain varieties that don’t store well or have tubers that are finicky to deal with. There are certain dahlias that don’t produce a lot of tubers or their tubers are a pain and in that case I am thinking why not sell the rooted cuttings only…it’s always a learning and refining process that’s for sure!
This variety is Lark’s Ebbe- isn’t it beautiful? We are excited to see a long row of her in our field this coming season!
How many more days until the sun shines and the flowers bloom? We are in the dog days of winter here in the PNW, it’s dark and dreary and very rainy, but we have had a few teaser sunny warm days. The daffodils and tulips are up, the crocuses are blooming as are a few early daffodils. I am so glad I have planted so many bulbs to look forward to this spring! Today I saw the forsythia are starting to bloom which means it’s time to go out and prune the roses. I think I’ll wait for a nice day before I go out there. It’s been cold and windy. Are you counting down the days until spring?
We at back to cold gray rainy days after a brief sunny teaser and 60 degree temperatures here in the PNW. This has been a challenging winter for me, for the past 5 years I haven’t minded the gray winters, but this year it’s been dreary. Dreaming of flowers helps! We have crocuses blooming and miniature daffodils, they bring so much cheer.
If you’re like me and planning for summers gardens, check out our dahlia tubers- we have so many beautiful varieties available. One of the musts I look for now besides beautiful flowers is how well they produce tubers and Gerrie Hoek (pictured) checks all the boxes. Beautiful, abundant blooms and plentiful tubers. It’s been a favorite dahlia from the very first year.
Go check out dahlia tubers sale and plan for a beautiful summer of gardening and flowers. It’s the only way to get through winter 😜!
The first flowers of the year blooming outside. They are always such a sweet treasure! Did you plant crocuses last fall? This one is Jeanne D’arc.
I have such a soft spot for the color orange🍊. This bunch of orange dahlias simply stunning if I do say so myself! Our favorite orange dahlias are, Sylvia or Maarn, David Howard, Myrthe, Punkin Spice, and Orange Symphony. That’s off the top of my head- did I miss any?
You will always be happy for orange dahlias when Pumpkin Spice Latte and sweater season roll around, they are perfectly fitting for fall flowers!
We have dahlias restocked on our website- go grab your favorites before they are gone! Make sure to add some orange for fall!
Do you need something to look forward to this summer? Now is the time to order dahlia tubers to fill your garden with beautiful flowers from July or August all the way through frost. Dahlias are our go to flower here on our flower farm and we love sharing the bounty from our fields with you. Our tubers have been restocked in our online shop.

Thank you for supporting our small family farm! ❤️ we can’t wait to send our tubers your way and watch them grow in your gardens.
We have restocked all of the dahlias that we can! This one here is a mega beautiful dahlia that produces loads and loads of flowers and is also a good tuber producer. This photo was taken early in the season when the coloring is darker, in the late season it fades to a beautiful soft coloring. This is a must grow for bouquets and tuber sales. I would love it if you shared our sale with your flower friends by tagging them or sharing this post- after you make your purchase of course! Thank you so much for supporting our small farm, it means the world to us!

This Saturday we will have our website updated with a huge restock on our dahlia tubers! We are so excited, as of yesterday the dahlias are officially finished being divided, now we have to double check our numbers, do the update, and they will be available to you.
Are you missing summer sunshine and dahlia blooms like I am? If you want I make beautiful dahlia bouquets this summer or just enjoy walking through your dahlia garden and admiring all the different blooms - make sure you have all the varieties and colors you love.
This bouquet features our favorite blush and peachy dahlias.
It’s that time of year. For the last 5 weeks the girls have been washing and dividing dahlias every day. We have about 1 more week and then we will do our biggest and final restock of our dahlia tubers online! It’s been a long process but it has been going so smooth. The tubers look beautiful too. I can’t wait to restock the website, I know how frustrating it is when so many varieties are sold out this time of year! Make sure to follow so you don’t miss out on our restock!
Yesterday was a bright day, somewhat sunny after a long and dark rainy spell here in the PNW. After spending so much time indoors and on the computer this winter, I spent the day outside yesterday cleaning up part of our privet hedge, cleaning up the old sweet pea and vine garden ( there are hundreds of love-in-a-puff seeds on the ground), and attacking our peony row that doesn’t have fabric. There is a mat of grassy, w**dy mess in there and it’s going to take a few days to get that row cleaned. I saw my neighbor flame w**ding his peony fields a few months ago. I will have to remember to do that next year. Right now there is allium already up and also ammi/dara that has self-seeded that I want to keep in that row, so it is too late to flame w**d now.
Working outside was so therapeutic. As I have gotten more help, I have been spending more and more time on the computer, and it has affected how I feel. This winter had been challenging (mentally) and I realize that I just need the good old therapy that comes from getting your hands in the dirt- and way less time indoors on the computer. Now my goal is to work on the computer one day a week and be super focused when I do, and spend the rest of my time doing the things I love, that bring me joy.
Pictured is the Verona tulips that we are harvesting in our shop right now and they just reminded me of the sunny day we had yesterday. Sometimes I need a reminder to have fun and remember to bring the joy to every day.
If you read this far congratulations! I hope you are inspired to go outside if you can, and soak in some purifying oxygen from the great outdoors and find the joy in the day.
If you think of someone who needs this reminder send this post to them!
When you’re feeling like the gray cloudy winter days are endless, do you reach for flowers to cheer you up and treat yourself?

Are you ready for it?
As we embrace the cozy magic of Winter Solstice, let’s take a moment to remember the abundance of the sunny summer days in our gardens and flower fields. It’s a beautiful reminder of nature’s cycles, there is a time for growth and a time for rest and renewal.
With Christmas just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the abundance and joy these flowers have brought into our lives. I hope you are able to reflect on the past year with gratitude and look to 2024 with eyes of hope excitement for the new year to come.
What are you grateful for in 2023 and what change/growth do you look forward to for 2024? Please share, I would love to hear from you! 👇🏻
I am taking the last weeks of December before and after Christmas to plan for the next year and season. There’s something new coming and I can’t wait to share it with you! I will be reflecting on what went well in 2023 and where we can improve!
One thing I know for sure is dahlias is our main crop and focus and next year we are cutting almost all annuals expect for a little row. We are going all in on dahlias first and foremost, bearded iris (opposite season of dahlias so it makes sense), and perennials.
Plus the big surprises we have in store!
Keep following to go deep on dahlias, and all the fun we have in store for 2024!

Looking back through dahlia photos, while I love this time of year, I am looking forward to flowers again! Am I the only one?
We will be out in the field again harvesting tubers! Check stories more on harvesting!
We have a couple of big announcements coming soon! Stay tuned to find out what we’ve got cooking’ for ya!
Meanwhile… we are finally digging dahlias! We’ve had so much rain which delayed us getting the dahlias out, and we were waiting for our Undercutter so we could get the job started. Today we gave the Undercutter a try and it’s still to wet, so we started hand digging. I dug 4 rows this afternoon which equals 480 clumps. The tubers look great, some are exceptional! It is always so fun to finally see the real harvest.
I am thankful to have well-drained soil since the tubers had to sit in the ground a bit longer than we hoped! The weather is supposed to stay dry this week so I am hoping to get all the tubers out by the end of the week! That’s a pretty tall order, if we can use the Undercutter it will definitely be faster.
We’ve restocked all the dahlias in the shop. It just seemed like the right thing to do this time of year! I hope you get the ones you’ve been hoping for!
Head to the link in the bio to shop!
How to feel like winter when you don’t have snow…
We aren’t guaranteed snow here in the PNW and since I grew up in the Midwest, it can be hard to get it into my head that it’s winter when it feels like it could be fall or spring.
I have to go out and gather some winter greenery and make it feel festive so my mind knows that yes, it is indeed winter. ❄️ I am hoping for a little snow around Christmastime, but in the meantime, we’ve gone out and gathered some greenery to deck the halls with.
Hope you can do the same! It doesn’t have to be traditional greenery even. We use these oak leaves and pyracanthea berries.
All of you warm states, what are your tricks for making it festive this time of year?
The chilly temperatures have arrived! Here are a few reminders for winter garden tasks!
1. You can plants bulbs as long as your ground is not frozen, so if you have bulbs , get out there and plant them.
2. If you have peonies, go out and cut all the foliage off all the way down to the ground, bag up and discard in the trash to prevent any disease from spreading in your garden.
3. Plant your amaryllis and paperwhite bulbs, they will bloom bout 4 weeks after planting. You can plant a handful every week to keep the flowers coming all throughout the winter season
4. Sit down and make a plan for your garden for 2024, you want to plan now so you can buy the seeds when the sales start in January.
5. Write a list of all the seeds you will need to buy. Remember sweet peas and perennials and a few annuals are started in the winter.
6. If you haven’t already, dig your dahlias and set reminders to check on them twice a month throughout the storage season. Also, winter is a good time to buy more dahlia tubers.
