Shipping Dahlias
We will start shipping to growers in warmer climates as soon as possible, and Northern states from mid- April to mid- May. Planting in Maine takes place in June after the danger of frost has passed.

What happens when I receive my dahlia tubers?
When you receive your tubers, immediately open your package and then store your tubers. Please advise us by email within 48 hours to info@veggiestotable.org is anything seems amiss.
Make sure to store your tubers in a suitable medium (peat, vermiculite, chips, sand, newspaper etc.) in a cool (not freezing), dark place until they are planted. It is imperative that they can breathe. Open the Ziploc bag and leave them standing straight up if you choose to leave them in the bag. Veggies to Table will not be held responsible for loss of tubers stored inappropriately. Veggies to Table is not responsible for tubers drying out or rotting in post-shipment storage. If your tubers fail to sprout within 4 weeks of planting, please notify us. We cannot be held responsible for rotting due to weather or pest conditions. For more information on storing and planting dahlias we suggest you look online (see below).
A few dahlia resources:
YouTube is always a great resource. There is a video and style for all growers. There are many ways to store, grow, divide, and dig dahlias. You will find the one that works best for you! Have fun and send us photos!
Thank you for your support! All funds from the tuber sale will go to feeding more of the many hungry folks in our community. To find out more of our impact you can see our video here.
