Early Summer Mini Session
Pick-ups are available at your chosen location at listed times only. If you cannot pick up your flowers as scheduled, please send a friend or family member on your behalf. Bouquets not picked up by customers will be donated.
Like a produce CSA for fresh fruit and vegetables, the flowers you will receive in your subscription are what we currently have blooming abundantly on the farm. Due to the seasonal nature of our product, we are unable to honor requests for specific flowers, and instead invite you to delight in beauty that evolves and brings joyful surprise each week.
Refunds are availabile only in case of non-delivery. In the rare event of non-delivery due to an emergency, every effort will be taken to notify subscription customers in advance of scheduled pick-up.
Flowers are a delicate and perishable product. Bleeding Heart Flower Farm takes great care to harvest and condition blooms for maximum customer enjoyment. However, we can make no guarantee on vase life since it depends on many variables outside our control: flower type, customer's display environment, and post-delivery care.
You can prolong the beauty of your bouquet by:
Displaying it in an indoor location without temperature, humidity, light or wind extremes.
Re-cutting the stems and place your flowers in fresh water every few days
Conditioning the water with a flower food packet or a homemade solution, i.e. 1) a biocide to prevent bacteria, such as a drop or two of bleach, and 2) a food source, such as a pinch or two of sugar.
Some flowers like sweet peas, dinnerplate dahlias, and cosmos are unlikely to last a full week, but are included in subscriptions for their irreplacable beauty.
Please Read Before Ordering.
Welcome to the beautiful world of dahlias. Please take time to carefully read the terms of our dahlia tuber sale before ordering.
Tubers, Not Potted Plants. We are selling dahlia tubers of varieties we grow for cutting here on our farm. We are not selling a growing plant potted in soil, but a dormant tuber that provides the energy needed to produce a new plant upon awakening.
Dormant but Live Plant Material. Tuber dormancy is broken by warming temperatures. Your tubers will arrive dormant, or just breaking dormancy. As they awake from winter storage, dahlias form “eyes” at the crown of the tuber. These eyes will produce a sprout, which will produce a dahlia plant.
Tuber Appearance. Dahlia tubers are totally unattractive and it's miraculous that something so beautiful can come from something so ugly. Tubers come in many shapes and sizes depending on variety. Whether it's as tiny as a walnut or as gigantic as an overgrown zucchini, the only thing that a healthy tuber needs to produce a plant is an actively growing eye. From that will come large plants and stunning blooms.
Our Pledge. We guarantee our tubers will have a minimum of one active eye, and we will provide credit or a replacement tuber (if available) for any tuber lacking an active eye. Any issues/claims with tubers must be submitted to us with supporting photographs via email to bleedingheartflowerfarm@gmail.com no later than June 1. Credits will be issued for any tuber that slips by us lacking an eye.
Online Orders Only. Because of the busy growing/harvesting pace at our farm in springtime, we accept dahlia tuber orders via our website only. We cannot accept orders via mail, email, text, telephone or in person.
No "Reserved" Product. Items placed in carts are not guaranteed or reserved until your purchase is completed and you have checked out and paid.
No Combined Orders, No Combined Shipping. Once an order is placed, we cannot add or subtract items. If you want additional items not included in your original order, please place a new order. We are unable to combine shipping and/or adjust charges on separately placed orders.
Tuber Origin. Our tubers were all originally purchased from small American growers like us, from root stock we have grown out and propagated at our farm, and/or from our bulb wholesaler, Ednie Bulbs of Oregon. All varieties have been grown for a minimum of one season by us for observation, and all tubers have been visually inspected.
A Word About Disease. We guard carefully against disease by keeping our tools clean and our storage media fresh, and we will never sell or keep anything that looks suspicious. That said, according to the American Dahlia Society Genome Project, dahlias and viruses have been co-existing for thousands of years. Diseases like leafy gall, crown gall, bacterial fascitis and others are common among dahlia species, and I have not personally had a completely disease-free season in the 30+ years I have been growing dahlias. Although we cannot guarantee all tubers will be disease free, I guarantee they have been grown, dug, divided and stored under appropriate conditions with great care for sanitation practices. They have also been carefully visually inspected, and anything suspicious-looking is immediately culled. Please let me know of any issues.
Receiving Your Tubers. We offer local pickup or shipping via USPS Priority Mail. Please select your preferred method at the time of online checkout.
Shipping. Shipping of our dahlia tubers is available only within the United States. Tubers will ship mid-April and mid-May, when weather on both ends permits it. (Frozen tubers turn to mush and will not produce viable plants.) Your order will be packaged carefully, shipped USPS Priority Mail, and arrive at your door a few days later. You will receive a shipping confirmation email. Please monitor your mailbox closely. Shipping will be complete no later than mid-May. Shipping charges are as follows:
0-5 tubers: $15
6-15 tubers: $22
16+ tubers: $27
Local Pickup. Local pick-up locations are:
Missoula - Burton's Hair
Florence - Backyard Tap House
N Stevensville - Bleeding Heart Flower Farm
Stevensville - By Lydia Rae
Hamilton - Chapter One Books
An email reminder will be sent before pickup day. Because of the intensity of early spring Farm operations and limitations of time and space, we are not able to offer earlier or different pickup dates. If you are unable to pick up on one of these two opportunities, please select Shipping at checkout.
Planting your tubers. When you receive your tubers, please open your package immediately. We are not responsible for tubers drying out or rotting in post-shipment storage. If you are not planting your tubers immediately, you may store them in their opened packages in a cool, dark, high humidity location for a few weeks until you are able to plant. Check your tubers often during this time to make sure there is no excess moisture, as moisture can lead to rot, and to ensure they are not drying out. Remember that dahlias cannot be planted outside until there is no risk of freezing weather but can be potted up and grown indoors if need be for a short time. Soil temperatures should reach 60F before planting.
Good luck and we hope you get great enjoyment out of your flowers! Please post photos and tag us... we'd love to see the beauty you create.
