📢They're back!!!! Dahlia Tuber Grab Bags: $20 = 4 tubers 

Available in our self-serve Flower House ONLY. Sorry, we don't ship these. 🚫

The Flower House is open Tuesday - Saturday, 8am - 8pm.

A few things to know:

✅These are our “second-quality” tubers, the same ones we plant on our farm. They might be smaller, ugly, or a bit wrinkly, but they are ready to grow!

✅Tubers are unlabeled. You won't know the variety until they bloom. Take a photo of the variety list below and save it. You'll want to refer back to it to ID your plants when your “mystery dahlias” start to flower. 

✅Please note: Each tuber was checked for a visible eye 👀 (sprout) before we packed it in the bag. Sometimes the eye breaks off during handling. No worries… the tuber will grow a new eye to replace the one that broke!

Here's the list of tubers that could be included in the Grab Bags😍🌸

Mother's Day is May 10.
That's less than 2 weeks away.
Did you just panic a little bit, like I did? 🙃 Ha!

I have a great gift suggestion for the flower lover in your life.

🌱CUT FLOWER SEEDS🌱

Seeds are a gift that keeps on giving, all summer long.
Many of the varieties available in our seed shop are beginner-friendly AND beautiful.
A win-win situation!

My top picks for Mother's Day?

💮Cosmos: We offer 5 different varieties of gorgeous Cosmos, all of them excellent choices for cut flower bouquets. The whimsy, beauty, and grace of Cosmos are unmatched.

🌻Sunflowers: These are so easy to grow! Pop the seeds in the ground, water them, and watch them grow. Sunflowers are one of the fastest-growing cut flowers! These Sunflowers are specially bred as top-quality bouquet flowers (Translation: they won't dump pollen all over your kitchen table).

🌸Zinnias: Simple to sow and grow, and they keep blooming as long as you keep harvesting them. They come in so many different colors, including our custom-blended color palettes (Rainbow Mix 🌈, Romantic Mix 💗 and Sunset Mix 🌅). Zinnias are well-loved for a reason!

A quick “behind the scenes” view of how we transform muddy, messy Tulips from the field into beautiful bunches for you to display!

✅Step 1: When the Tulips are juuuuuuust starting to open up, we harvest them as quickly as possible. Depending on the weather conditions, we may need to harvest once a day or 3-4x a day. Tulips ripen FAST in hot weather, so it’s a race to catch them BEFORE they open!🔥💨😳

✅Step 2: Once harvested, we store the entire stem, bulb and all, in crates in our walk-in cooler at about 36-38° F 🥶 When the bulb is still attached, Tulips can be stored dry like this for up to 4 weeks (super helpful if you want to reserve some Tulips for a later date!). The Tulips tend to all ripen in a 1-2 week window, so it’s a mad dash to harvest them and Tetris all the crates in our cooler. 😵‍💫🤣

✅Step 3: When we’re ready to sell the Tulips, it’s time to “process” them. We start by snapping off the bulbs and removing the bottom leaf.

And because I know you'll ask 🙂... we don't reuse/replant the bulbs. Once the bulb is removed from the stem/leaves, it has no way to photosynthesize (gather light and regenerate itself for the next season). On a flower farm, we treat Tulips as Annuals. If you grow them in your landscaping, you treat them as a short-lived Perennial.

✅Step 4: Time to wash the Tulips! 💦These stems and leaves are covered in mud, dirt, and debris. We place them on a mesh “table” and spray off each stem, one by one, to clean them up.

✅Step 5: Now that they are clean, it’s time to bunch them, rubber band them, and wrap them in paper.

✅Step 6: The finished product! 💐Tulips are lovely and long-lasting in the vase. They are also the only flower I know of that keeps growing after it’s been cut. 😮 So if you notice your Tulips seem taller each day in the vase… they ARE!!! Go ahead and give them a little trim as needed! ✂️

We have lots of Tulips available this week as we head toward Mother's Day! ♥️🙌💐

This topic is a total GAME-CHANGER for cut flower growers.

Knowing the difference between:

❄️Hardy Annuals
and
🔥Heat-Loving Annuals

While all of the plants in this category are technically Annuals (as opposed to Biennials, Perennials, etc), the two groups behave VERY differently.

They are planted at different times.
They bloom at different times.
Timing is EVERYTHING!

Once you master the timing of these two groups of cut flowers, you can have beautiful flowers to harvest for MONTHS instead of just WEEKS.

I wrote a detailed blog post where I break down:
✔ The difference between Hardy Annuals and Heat-Loving Annuals
✔ Why timing is everything (and why so many people get it wrong)
✔ The trick for maximizing your space and growing as many flowers as possible
✔ Which ones to start with if you're an absolute beginner

🌱Hot tip: Even though we can't plant Heat-loving Annuals for another 4-6 weeks, RIGHT NOW is the perfect time to plant Hardy Annuals.

You'll find a list of suggestions for each group in the blog post.

🙋‍♀️Still need more Dahlia tubers for 2026?
Of course you do. Who needs a lawn anyway? (psst... watching Dahlias grow is way more fun than watching grass grow 🤣)

We’re busy little bees over here at Three Acre Farm, packing and shipping Dahlia tubers.

There is a wonderful selection of some of my ABSOLUTE favorite Dahlia tubers available.

To make your life easier (decision fatigue is a real thing! "Someone just please decide for me!" 😵‍💫), I’ve categorized them for you. These mixes will look great in your garden.

💎Jewel Tones Mix: A great selection of deep saturated colors, perfect for fall arrangements

🍇Violet Delight Mix: A collection of cool-toned purples, violets, lavenders, and pinks.

🍑Peachy Perfection Mix: My favorite! I can’t get enough of these delicious colors!

😍Statement Pieces Mix: These Dahlias are beautiful, bold, and demand attention in the garden. All are excellent tuber producers, too.

🌈Color Shifting Mix: These Dahlias change color depending on season, day length, and temperature. Such a pure delight to watch them transform over the season!

🏆Cutting Garden MVPs: These dahlias are top choices for cut flower bouquets. The blooms are incredibly sturdy and long-lasting in the vase.

Remember, we offer Combined Shipping 📦 for multiple orders, as well as free on-farm pickup 🚗 for locals.
