Dahlia Tubers for Sale 2013

TUBER SALES ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2013!

HAVE A GREAT GROWING YEAR!



This year I will be offering tubers for sale. Prices are next to each variety.

Contact me at ClearCreekDahlias@yahoo.com  for an order invoice or to inquire about the availability of a variety. And yes, checks and PayPal are accepted.

For those of you who are new to dahlias, let me explain some of the numbers and letters after the variety names.  LS is limited stock:  last year was a terrible year for growing dahlias. The four digit number is the American Dahlia Society classification number.

 The letters stand for the Size:

AA   (Giant)                over 10 inches in diameter
A      (Large)                8-10 inches in diameter
B      (Medium)            6-8 inches in diameter
BB    (Small)                4-6 inches in diameter
M      (Miniature)         up to 4 inches in diameter
BA    (Ball)                  over 3.5 inches in diameter
MB   (Miniature Ball)  2-3.5 inches in diameter
P       (Pompon)            up to 2 inches in diameter
S       (Single)               over 2 inches in diameter
MS   (Mignon Single)  up to 2 inches in diameter


(Note: this is the classification size. Dahlias may be larger or smaller depending on weather, soil, and gardening practices.  Dahlias may also be a little different from the colors in the photos depicted in the gallery, due to your computer monitor settings, and all the things that also affect bloom size.)

Varieties for 2013

After a brutal growing season in 2012.  I had to replace about 30+ varieties, plus pick up new ones for this year, and with an eye to the future of selling the offspring.  These are currently not on the sale list, but some will be for sale in 2014.  Some I decided not to replace due to the cost factor.  This is what's new for 2013 in asterisks, and varieties I have returning from last year. Check back often, I'll be updating this in my "spare time".

NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE SALE LIST. This is the stock that I have for this year. There are not enough of most of these to trade or sell. * indicates new varieties. T indicates varieties I got in trade.
