Customer Conduct Policy

We’re all about respectful and constructive communication—it’s how we ensure a positive experience for everyone in our growing community. If you have feedback or concerns, please reach out to us directly so we can resolve the issue promptly and fairly. We’re here to help, and we take pride in finding solutions that work.

That said, we reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or void guarantees if a customer engages in disrespectful behavior. Over the years, we’ve seen too many growers face devastating challenges because of impatient or unfair actions, like airing complaints publicly on social media before giving the business a chance to address them.

Here’s the deal: If customer service matters are taken public before we’ve had a chance to help, we may choose to walk away and void guarantees. Likewise, if we see posts that are intentionally damaging or rude behavior toward other growers in the community, we reserve the right to decline your orders altogether.

We’re all in this together, so let’s keep it kind, constructive, and focused on growing beautiful things. Life is too short to deal with a bunch of jackasses (and that works both ways). 🌱

How do I plant my dahlia tubers?

Helpful tip: A pH of 6.5 is where nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium (NPK), plus trace minerals are most easily available to your flowers.

Plant after the ground is warm in your zone. Dahlias are grown from tubers (imagine a mix between a potato and a bulb). When you plant dahlia bulbs, the ground temperature should be at least 60 degrees F. Dahlia tubers don't like cold soil, so planting them too early means they may struggle to grow.

Plant them in a full sun location (giving them 6-8 hours of direct sunlight). In very hot regions, dahlias do well with a shady break from the hot afternoon sun. 

Dig a big hole. If you have clay soil or compacted soil, this is especially important. We suggest digging holes large enough to fit a gallon milk jug. This makes it easier for roots to spread and will help in the fall if you need to dig tubers. 

Fill the bottom 6 inches with aged manure or worm castings. Save ½ of the soil that came from the hole and peat moss. If your soil is heavily compacted or clay, replace the soil with gardening soil that does not contain fertilizer. This will help lighten the soil so that it can drain properly. Soil that contains fertilizer can burn young roots and will void the Plant Satisfaction Guarantee. Refill the hole with amended soil and place the tuber in the center, with the top of the tuber about 3” deep. Place the tubers in the hole with the points (or eyes) facing up. As the tubers sprout, you can continue adding soil up to ground level if the soil settles.
