Here’s a dahlia that was about to get the boot. For a couple seasons, it was underwhelming. Blooms were pretty but in a shrinking violet sort of way (dahlias should not be violets). I composted the weakest plants and added tubers from a different source. This year with a few tweaks, the variety really hit its stride. On a tangential note: generally speaking, I think it’s good practice to eliminate weaker plants to preserve the integrity of a dahlia cultivar. Propagating specimens with degraded traits is a waste of space and resources.

In the flurry of seedling releases by other hybridizers, I am eagerly hoping for a replacement for Cafe au Lait. CAL as a cut leaves a lot to be desired: ungainly plants, inconsistent form, inconsistent color, slow to bloom, stingy with flowers, etc. These were originally all purchased as “Cafe au Lait” but you can see the variation in color. My plants displayed the annoying tendency of throwing the most beautiful blooms for deadheads. Jolene aka Cafe Mini didn’t seem all that different aside from bloom size. I wish a new queen would be coronated! What’s your favorite CAL analogue focal? Also, if anyone can id slide 3, I’d greatly appreciate it (was a mislabel). Limited number of dahlias will be available for Friday pickup in Mt. Airy. Email to inquire/order.

What an incredible genus. Dahlias will always have a piece of my heart. So grateful to the conscientious breeders who spend an incredible amount of time, effort, resources and love to create jaw dropping new varieties. It’s a bit of a Wild West right now, I have a feeling some of the old guard of the ADS (American Dahlia Society) may be clutching their pearls while others welcome the frenzy of interest. Though some of these are stunning, they are not the best for selling as cut flowers. The hunt begins again soon because there are always new shinies to try/evaluate.

Some dahlias for Friday bulk refresh. Hard to believe the season will be coming to an end!

I really can’t thank our amazing flower community enough for your support!! We are in the home stretch of the season and more gorgeous dahlias are (finally) hitting their stride. Shop will go live for next week sometime tonight.

Available for later in the week (Thursday evening/Friday morning): grower’s choice bulk dahlias in requested color palettes! I always include special varieties that you won’t easily find elsewhere. An option if you find you need extra stems before the event or desire super fresh product for the weekend. Email me to inquire. Pick up at farm in Quakertown or Mt. Airy.

So grateful for the support of this amazing community! The dahlias are looking great, both the bread-and-butter varieties, as well as the “special specials.” Feel free to inquire about bulk dahlia orders for pickup later in the week in color palettes like white/neutral, autumnal and jewel/berry tones. I will be sure to include premium varieties that won’t easily be found elsewhere! Initial inventory is live for next week and uploaded continuously until the last minute!

Hello. My name is Jean Tuma and I am a dahlia addict.

18/09/2025

Shop is live for next week! There are a lot of pretty new dahlias that are almost impossible to get, garden roses, toad lilies, cosmos and fancy zinnias. More inventory will be uploaded on the weekend. Thank you for your consideration and for supporting local!

So grateful for your orders this week! Without your support, this little dream of mine would not exist. (Dream sounds better than obsession, yes?) September is my absolute favorite time of year; more special dahlias are blooming every day and the roses are beginning their last flush. Also prepping for next spring’s flowers and I am super excited! When inventory goes live, emails are sent via Rooted with additions posted up until Sunday. See my IG stories for additions. Pickups in Mt Airy on Wed 9:30 to 11:30. Orders that are picked up at my farm in Quakertown (by appointment) get a 5% discount. The woes of not having a big enough vehicle.

Some photos of my latest curiosity project. Pictured are a couple of sizes (the result of different growing conditions plant and/or variability due to growing from seed. This is all one big experiment!). I tried a couple methods of overwintering last season. Apparently, S. purpurea reliably overwinter here with little care but I’m not drawn to their looks. (Naturally drawn to the option that requires extra care, of course.) Keeping my fingers crossed! If you care to share any nuggets of info regarding sarracenia culture, let’s talk!
