Welcome to Erie Way!
I’m so glad you’re here! Erie Way Flowers is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this season and if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past 10 years is that the farm is constantly evolving! So what better way to kick off our 10th growing season than with the launch of our very first Dahlia Tuber Sale. Dahlias have been a staple of the farm since day 1 and living in Western NY, each growing season has brought us new challenges and through it all we have never stopped learning! We are now at the point where we can share with you our knowledge, our experiences and of course-OUR TUBERS!!
SO PLEASE READ ALL OF MY FAQs BELOW TO LEARN ABOUT OUR TUBERS AND OUR ORDERING & SHIPPING PROCESS!
DAHLIA TUBER FAQs
WHERE DO YOU SHIP TO?
Shipping is available in the United States only at this time.
WHEN WILL THE TUBERS BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE?
The tuber sale will be live in the next several days. We’re working hard to finish up the dividing and get our counts logged! Sign up for the NEWSLETTER and you’ll be the FIRST to know! Otherwise continue to follow me on social media-I’ll post it there!
WHAT TYPE OF VARIETIES WILL YOU BE SELLING?
Erie Way is a Flower Farm and Floral Design Studio growing specialty cut flowers for our design work. All of our dahlias are grown specifically for cut flowers. Whether you’re a New or Seasoned Flower Farmer or an avid gardener, our tubers are definitely for you and your farm or flower garden!
HOW ARE THE DAHLIA TUBERS SOLD
Our dahlia tubers are sold as single divisions and not in clumps.
WHAT WILL THE TUBERS LOOK LIKE?
Each tuber will have a sound body, intact neck and at least one viable eye. Tubers come in all shapes and sizes. Size DOES NOT matter. As long as the criteria listed is present, it will grow into a beautiful dahlia! Please note: When your tuber ar!rives, you many not be able to see the eye until it begins to wake up over the next several weeks after arrival.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY TUBER UNTIL IT’S TIME FOR PLANTING?
Your dahlia tuber should be stored in a cool (around 45 degrees), dark & dry area in a bag, box or plastic container. Cover the tuber with clean wood shavings, vermiculite or newspaper until you are ready to plant. Check your tubers to be sure they stay dry, as mositure can cause them to rot. DO NOT LET THE TUBERS FREEZE.
