Frequently Asked Questions
Our Dahlia Tubers:
Freshly divided dahlias
You are buying your tubers direct from the dahlia growers and the direct from the farm.
Our tubers are plump, healthy single division tubers with at least one live eye.
Can I order dahlia tubers & perennials now?
Yes, our website is open for Spring 2023 orders. Early orders get the best selection.
When do you ship:
We do one spring shipment per year. We plant in late spring, grow all summer, harvest in the fall, divide and prepare the tubers and perennials for shipping in winter. Then ship out the orders in the spring, when it’s approaching the correct planting time for your area.
How are the dahlias & perennials packaged?:
Our dahlias & perennials are packaged with full color labels with all the necessary information like how tall they grow, bloom size and type. All labels include a color picture of the flower.
Do you ship to Canada?:
No, sorry we do not ship to Canada.
Do you wholesale?:
No, sorry we do not wholesale.
Do you pay when you order or when you ship?:
When you order, this reserves your dahlias for spring shipment.
Pick up orders:
We open up the barn every weekend mid March through mid May for pick up orders and dahlia tuber sales in the barn.
Reminder emails are sent out prior to opening in March.
When are cut flowers available:
Our dahlias are in full bloom from September through mid October. Our Self Serve Flower Stand is open April through October Friday-Saturday-Sundays daylight hours. Closed during mid June, July and August.
When is Dahlia Barn open to the public?:
We open up when it’s tuber season and when the dahlias are in bloom. Spring Barn Sales are held in the barn mid March through mid May. Flower Festival is held weekends in September when the dahlias are in bloom. Of course, our website is open 24/7.
Photography:
You are welcome to snap pictures while in the gardens with your phone or small camera, but we do not allow tri-pods or professional photo shoot pictures to be taken during the flower festival. It interferes with the customer experience. Private sessions can be arranged on days that we are not open to the public, for $150 for a 2 hour session. Currently, we can schedule sessions for Tuesdays only, best times for lighting are between 5pm – 8pm.
Office Hours:
We do try to keep office hours. Sometimes the farm will take us away for the day, and during the growing season we can be out of the office for a couple days. A good way to reach us is by email info@dahliabarn.com
Do you have Gift Cards available?:
