Dahlia 'Marshmallow Baby’ - Spring Shipped

Dahlia tubers begin shipping in April 2027, with shipments continuing through May, unless Early Shipping is selected at checkout.

🚀 EARLY SHIPPING: MARCH 15–31, 2027

For gardeners who want a head start, we offer a limited Early Shipping option. Please note that dahlias from our World Series Collection are excluded from Early Shipping and will ship during our regular April–May window.

🌱 WHAT TO EXPECT

We ship sprouted dahlia tubers with visible eyes, so you can plant with confidence! .

Please note: Early Shipping is at the buyer's risk. Shipping before your area's last frost date may expose tubers to freezing temperatures, and damage resulting from early shipping or freezing conditions is not covered by our standard guarantee.

We guarantee our tubers are true to variety and ready to grow. We are so confident in our tubers that we offer a conditional warranty for the growing season. Click here to read the complete 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. 🌱

Dahlias are tender perennials, vigorous and fast growing. Dahlia tubers must be lifted for the winter from the ground in zones 7 and lower.

Planting:

Dahlias require soil that drains freely. Clay soil should be amended. Planting in raised beds can help alleviate moisture concerns. Tuber loss due to moisture rot is the leading cause for plant loss.

Plant 6" deep. Dig hole at least twice the width of your tuber to reduce soil compaction. 

Label and stake your Dahlia at planting. Tubers do not need to be watered unless you are dealing with especially dry conditions. Whatever Mother Nature provides will be enough.

Care:

When Dahlias reach 10-12", the center tip should be pinched. This will create a bushier plan and yield more blooms. Without pinching, the plant will grow one tall, thick central stalk.

Your Dahlias will bloom from mid-summer until frost. Keep spent blooms trimmed and you'll enjoy repeat blooms all season long.
