About Our Tubers

We’re not fond of that feeling of ordering a fantastic dahlia in autumn from a dahlia farm only to be notified it failed in storage or was sold out from under us the following spring. To avoid these pitfalls, we sell our tubers in late winter/early spring*, when we know our final stock after anything that might happen over the winter. Tubers are listed for sale from February to April. We ship in April to May depending on your climate zone. Orders going to warmer regions than ours (which are many) will have insulated boxes to assure your tubers get out of our chilly region safely. We guarantee our tubers will sprout and be free of rot and gall.

*If you want to assume full responsibility for risk, and want to make certain you get a particular dahlia before we sell out, we do offer tubers after they have been freshly dug from the ground in November. These tubers are shipped in a baggie of soil within a day of being dug up, and will require you to overwinter them immediately. For these special orders, we assume no responsibility for their successful overwintering as that would be out of our hands. We highly recommend waiting until we release all of our tubers in late winter!

About Cut Flowers
Cut flowers are for local pick up and delivery only at this time. If you would like to display or sell our flowers at your business, drop us an email! Flowers are in bloom from July to first hard frost (October or November.) Different varieties last longer in the vase than others, and we employ all the methods at our disposal to make our blooms look their best for the longest amount of time. Pricing on cut flowers can be found on the Cut Flowers page during the correct season.

About Your Purchase
Thank you for any purchase, no matter how small (and some tubers and mignon flowers can be quite small!) All patronage to Fable Farm’s Dahlias goes directly back into our farm for upgrades, improvements to our storage, early-starting equipment, and our favorite part - obtaining new varieties of dahlias to grow for you! Thank you for helping us to do what we love. If you have pictures of our dahlias in your garden or at your event, we’d love to see them! Drop us a line.
