Irish Blackhart
Irish Blackhart is a show-stopping bicolor with starry petals striped in deep burgundy and clean white. Each bloom looks hand-painted, no two quite the same. She’s dramatic enough to stand alone in a vase, but also pairs beautifully with softer tones to create striking, high-contrast bouquets. She is one of the smallest stellars we grow.
This bicolor, stellar dahlia was introduced by Steve & Sandy Boley in 2014. The ADS classifies this as a 7015 and color chips DR3 WH1.

Things to Know About Ordering Tubers
How We Select Tubers for Sale
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.
Shipping Expectations
When will tubers ship?
We ship tubers in March, April, May and June each year. Exact dates TBD.
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. Orders of 1-3 tubers ship in a plain box. Orders of 4 tubers or more ship in a keepsake box.
