Dahlia Shipping

Orders are shipped in the order received, not by zone. Pre-orders will begin shipping in April 2025 and should be completed by mid-May. No early shipping. No exceptions.

Payment

 

Payment is due in full and will be charged during order entry. This will reserve your order and hold it until your ship date. 

We are committed to dahlias that enhance your farm and landscape. We guarantee our tubers are healthy and true to variety. We are so confident in our tubers that we offer a conditional warranty for the entire growing season. Click here for full policy details. 

Adding this again here: Orders are shipped in the order received, not by zone. Pre-orders will begin shipping in April 2025. No exceptions. 

All dahlia sales are final. We do not cancel orders after they are placed.

Limited Stock: Some varieties are marked as LIMITED (and we mean it). Items marked as LIMITED are restricted to one per household. Adding more than one will result in that item being canceled and refunded because… well, we’re serious about this rule. Don’t make us be the fun police, okay?

Combining Orders

Ordered in a frenzy and realized you forgot something? Email us to combine your orders, and we’ll refund duplicate shipping fees. You're welcome. 

Tubers vs. Rooted Cuttings

Don’t mix these up! Tubers and rooted cuttings ship separately. Read those listings carefully.

Mentioning this once more for the people in the back....Tuber shipping begins in April.

Shipping begins in April—no exceptions. Need it sooner? I love you, but I’m not your girl. For the people in the back... TUBER SHIPPING BEGINS IN APRIL.

Rooted Cutting Shipping

First, they have to root and show signs of new growth. Then, we ship when things are friendly in your location and our location. Shipping will begin in late March, with rooted cuttings dispatched only on Mondays and Tuesdays to prevent them from sitting in transit over the weekend.

More Inventory Coming

We’ll be adding even more varieties to the site after the initial January 9 launch. Subscribers get a heads-up via email. Keep an eye on your inbox.

One More Thing...

Please take a minute to read our updated Plant Satisfaction Guarantee. We added a super cool section about customer conduct, too. You all are the best customers, and I know this won’t be an issue, but just in case: kindness matters.

I’m here to help, but let’s keep the vibe as sweet as an early morning bloom. Thank you for being part of the Fuirk Home family. Let’s make this dahlia season one to remember!

Did we mention that tuber shipping begins in April?

In case you didn't check out the Plant Satisfaction Guarantee but you're still reading here, check out this 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.
