Frequently asked questions

When will my tubers be shipped? Shipping begins in March, going through early/mid April.

Can I get an earlier shipping date, or have my order shipped on a specific date? Unfortunately, no.

What carrier do you use for shipping? USPS.

How much do you charge for shipping? $15.00

Will you combine shipping? For orders placed on the same date, no. For orders placed on different days, sure, if your existing order hasn’t yet been shipped. Just send me a message through my website, and we’ll get that taken care of. (I will combine shipping on same day orders at end of season sale.)

Do you ship outside of the U.S.? Not at this time.

Are you licensed to grow/ship/sell? Yes! I’m licensed and inspected by the Oregon Department of Agriculture, as well as registered as an LLC.

What are your sanitation practices? I wash my cutting tools in a bleach solution in between each plant/clump. I never cut without sanitizing first, and I don’t allow others to cut in my garden. I cull plants showing virus symptoms, even if it breaks my heart each and every time.

Do you guarantee against virus? No. While I do try my best to sell only happy healthy tubers, and will never sell any I believe to have a virus or problem of any sort, the prevalence of virus in dahlias is much too high for me to possibly guarantee against such.

If I have a problem with my order, how soon should I contact you? Right away! Once you receive your order, please open in and inspect all of your tubers immediately. If you have a problem with any of them, notify me, so I can try to make things right. As I can’t control what is done with them, or how they are stored or treated once they are out of my hands, I only guarantee them for up to one week after delivery.

Do you have big fat tubers? No. All of my plants are grown in pots, and don’t usually have big chonker tubers. Occasionally there will be some impressive ones, but they usually aren’t.
