FAQs

"Limit one" varieties will be limited to 1 tuber per household. If more than 1
tuber is purchased order will be canceled and refunded.

Descriptions of form, size, and color come from the ADS CHD (American Dahlia
Society Classification and Handbook of Dahlias). If not classified with the ADS,
form, size and color are determined to the best of our abilities. An asterisk (*) after the introduction year indicates that the exact introductory year is unknown but it has been in circulation since that particular year. If a variety has been highlighted on Misfit Dahlias' Instagram and Facebook page in a "Misfit Monday" the post will be copied and pasted under the variety description. These copied paragraphs contain more information about a bloom and sometime refer to pictures that were post with the information at the time, not the pictures that are posted on this website. ADS classifications can be found at http://dahlia.org. Other sites we recommend checking out for information about dahlias are http://dahliaaddict.com, http://dahliaworld.co.uk, and http://ndsarchive.co.uk

After digging, washing, dividing, and washing again (all in the same day), tubers are dried for less than 24 hours. Once dry, tubers are wrapped in saran wrap and put to bed in the tuber basement. The tuber basement temperature fluctuates between 45 degrees F and 55 degrees F with an average humidity of 81%. Tubers are acclimated to the temperature of the tuber basement and then wrapped in the same environment to increase the chances of survival. One week prior to sale, tubers are unwrapped in the same environment and checked for quality. At this point tubers are packaged individually in ziplock bags. Upon arrival, condensation may be present inside ziplock due to shipping conditions that are out of our control. We recommend removing tubers and storing in customers' preferred storage method until planting.
