Allen's Foxy Lady

We Sell Small Tubers

We sell tubers that are at least the size of the AA battery. Please do not purchase from us if you are not okay with this size. As long as a tuber has an eye, an intact neck and a body, it has everything it needs to grow a full plant. Tiny tubers grow just as well as large tubers. We cut all large tubers down to approximately 6 inches long so they can fit in our shipping boxes. This does not affect their ability to grow.

We Sell Ugly Tubers

Let’s face it, tubers are ugly. They grow in the dirt. They can be soft, hard, wrinkly, smooth, twisty, straight, stained and hairy. We have experience handling, dividing and planting tens of thousands of tubers and know exactly what is normal/healthy and what is not. You will receive ugly tubers from us. Please do not purchase from us if you are not okay with ugly tubers.

We Sell Tubers With Dormant Eyes

You will receive tubers from us with the following types of eyes. Like humans, dahlia tuber varieties naturally wake up at different times.

• Dormant eyes: these are still asleep and look like a crack, pimple or blemish on the crown. They will wake up given the right environment.
  
• Awake eyes: these are beginning to open and resemble a tiny pearl. Eyes can be white, green, pink, purple or red.
  
• Sprouted eyes: a full sprout developing out of an eye. Sprouts can be white, green, pink, red or purple.

We Sell Every Tuber We Deem Plantable

We handle thousands of tubers every single year. Every tuber we ship has been deemed "plantable" and if we don't sell it to you, we plant it in our own field. Every year our field is booming with the smallest, wrinkliest and ugliest tubers in our stock. We sell our A, B & C grade tubers and we plant our D, E & F grade tubers. Some varieties naturally make more ideal tubers than others. Typically the most expensive varieties have the worst tubers.

How will the tubers be packaged?

Your tubers will be in individual plastic bags with vermiculite to protect and maintain moisture. Your full order will be packaged in a cardboard mailer box with a lining of bubble wrap for protection.

We want you to be happy with your tubers when you receive them. If they do not arrive in good condition we offer a 24 hour refund request period. Please read the full policy here.
