Bloomquist Jean
Ah these are another dream variety that does not dissapoint. These look like truffula trees! The 6" orange blooms have recurved petals and a very distinctive look. The plants grow to 48". I woudl definately support as my first year plant did not produce a lot of blooms and the heads could be heavy; I want to make sure to encourage every bloom. I purchased from Birch Bay Dahlia and received an excellent healty tuber, but only had two tubers when I dug in the fall. So I suspect these may not be big tuber producers (pretty common in some of these "unicorn" dahlia). I will be amplifying my stock in 2025 and hope to have available as tubers in 2026.
Product Info
During the winter months, tubers are stored in a dormant state. Depending on the tuber variety, weather, and availability of storage medium, we store in plastic wrap, or in vermiculate. We wake our tubers in February and March. This allows us to start our plants early so we have more mature plants that flower earlier during the Michigan growing season. We also propogate cuttings to increase stock. If you would like tubers earlier in the spring we offer pick-up at the farm.
Return & Refund Policy
We are a boutique specialty cut flower farm. We take care to ship tubers with visible eyes and no growth limiting damage. Tubers are living storage stems and can get a little dry (and wrinkle) and or get a small bit soft to the touch. Each variety handles winter storage differently and wakes at it's own pace. We will not send tubers if we are not confident in their viability and the presence of an eye or sprout. If you have a concern, please contact us immediately with a photograph. Our tubers and flowers are meant to bring happiness. We will work with you to resolve any concerns.
Shipping Info
Tubers can be shipped in late spring without a threat of freezing. Shipping is risky from November to April. We will ship via priority mail in April.
