SUBSTITUTES
In the event a variety is unavailable at the time of dispatch then we reserve the right to substitute with a similar alternative unless specified as no substitutes on the order form. We will always try to match the variety as close as possible.
Dahlia Tubers
Most people associate growing dahlias from a tuber, so we have increasing our tuber
production along with the number of varieties produced on our own land. All tubers will be
lifted by hand at the end of the season, unlike other countries which use machines for lifting
which can damage and spread virus to the tubers. Our tubers come in various sizes, this is
down to the variety or the weather conditions the previous growing season .
But a tuber the size of a thumb nail will give just as many flowers as a large tuber (size does not matter)
Our tubers are £5.95 each unless stated, and a standard charge of £8.95 for p&p for any
amount posted. Orders can also be collected from the nursery.
Please note our tubers are supplied in brown paper bags with a label and information sheet.
All our energy has gone
into producing good tubers than the packaging
HOW TO ORDER TUBERS
We have lifted and cleaned our tubers, and have added the varieties available to our
WEBSITE
DAHLIA CATALOGUE PAGE . This has been be done by adding the word tuber to
the existing text (plant) under the picture of the variety on the website eg (PLANT/TUBER).
Should the variety not be available as a tuber it would not be too late to order garden ready
plants instead.
A TUBER AVAILABILITY LIST CAN BE EMAILED IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCESS THE WEBSITE.
PRE-ORDERS FOR TUBERS CAN BE COLLECTED FROM THE NURSERY OR THERE IS A STANDARD CHARGE OF £8.95 FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TUBERS POSTED.
FROM THE END OF FEBRUARY WE WILL HAVE TUBERS AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT THE NURSERY FOR ANYONE NOT WISHING TO PREORDER TUBERS.
