Dahlia Tuber Store
Dahlia Tuber Store is open for preorders.
All orders are for pickup only at our house/hoophouse, 305 Newport St. in the Jefferson/Chalmers neighborhood. Tubers - $10/ea, Grab Bags - $8/ea
Pickups will happen at our Open Hoophouse Day, Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, or upon request for a different pickup time. All tubers will have a viable eye. If you come on May 2nd, you will be able to pick out the tuber you want to fill your order.
When to plant tubers - Dahlia tubers cannot be planted outside in our planting zone until, at the earliest, mid-May. The ground needs to be warm, and the wet, cold spring weather needs to be finished. Tubers easily rot in cold, wet soil. We have had recent years of spring weather that has been cold, wet, and dismal, delaying planting until late May or June. 2025 was a little closer to the spring weather of the past, if you ignore the high-heat periods! We started planting tubers around Mother’s Day.
Staking is a key activity when growing dahlias. We recommend placing the stake when you plant.
