PRODUCT INFORMATION
We will supply either X 1 Dahlia Clump or X 2 Dahlia Tubers per packet but only guarantee one plant per packet. Once you have received your Dahlias, please check if you have a Dahlia Clump or Dahlia Tuber. The Dahlia packet will be marked either “Clump” or “Tuber”. You can keep your Clumps in a cool dry place until it is planting time, or you can put them in potting soil and keep them next to a window. Single Tubers can be kept in their packaging at room temperature until planting time. For further detailed information please refer to our Dahlia Care Guide. With every Dahlia Tuber purchase you will receive an information page with full instructions on how to grow your Dahlias. Although we try our utmost best to deliver your exact order, we do work with nature and sometimes we don’t get as many tubers as we hoped of a certain variety. If we cannot supply you with a variety, we will be in touch to discuss a replacement. Please inspect your Clumps & Tubers as soon as you receive them and contact us with any concerns.
