The Joy of Growing Dahlias
A Message from Farmer Karla

As spring is slowly awakening, we are already heating up our greenhouses to begin seeding flowers, herbs, and vegetables. One of my favorite cut flowers to plant, care for, and harvest are Dahlias. The variety of color palettes, petal shapes, and flower sizes are utterly enchanting. Whether I place a single whimsical dahlia stem into a bud vase, create a bouquet of these beauties, or cut hundreds of stems for our florists to craft their artistry for brides to enjoy on one of the most memorable days of their lives, I cherish every detail about growing and caring for dahlias. Simply put, flowers create joy.
For the last 10 years, we have planted, harvested, sold, and stored dahlias. In the fall of 2023, we made the difficult decision not to dig up and store our dahlia tubers, knowing I would have to rebuild our stock. To prepare for this, I placed my dahlia order early with my supplier last March and December of 2024 to start rebuilding our dahlia tuber varieties. Whether you’re a dahlia farmer, gardener, or floral designer, we all share the love of dahlias that brings joy to our lives and the lives of others.
We invite you to visit our website to purchase your dahlia tubers. We offer 13 different varieties and one special Farmer Karla Collection that I know you will love!
I look forward to the warmer spring sunshine to get back into the dirt and plant those dahlias that bring joy to so many of us. Stay healthy and happy, and I will soon see you at the farm stand or in the dahlia fields!

With warm regards,
Farmer Karla
