I'm SO glad you are back again!!! I'm also always looking on your Facebook-side, but to see you acting in the field is so much more!!! And WOW what have you built up!!! I cannot even imagine the work of planting 7000 dahlias! And what an intelligent system you built up!!! You are SUCH an inspiration and all your plants look gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and great work with us!!! I wish you the very best for the season!!! Greetings from denmark!! 🤗🌻💖
I love the music you select and I love your smile. Will you sell and ship your tubers to the US? Do you cut and quick dip your stems before they go into the farm cooler or before they go into the shop cooler? once you put them in bigger containers with the hydrating solution do you leave them in that solution until point of sale? What is your preferred brand of hydrator? Do you have to change the water once or twice during the 5 days of storage? Do you use CVBN tabs as some growers recommend? So no flower food in the storage phase? What temperature do you store them at? Floret recommends hydrator in the harvest bucket but then I don't know if she leaves them in the hydrator and if so for how long? I am confused by all the different instructions and I really want to get the best vase life for my customers. You have figured out a method that keeps your dahlias looking like just picked. Some of the varieties do fade rapidly in the vase...so I understand now the importance of narrowing down those grown to the best all around performers as you have done. I am happy for your success and you will no doubt be even more successful in years to come.
Apologies for the delay in response. We do not ship to the USA. We don’t have an export license, unfortunately, and it’s not cost effective for us to do this. Our dahlias don’t spend more than 2 days in our farm cooler and are given a fresh snip with fresh water when they head off to our retail cooler/florists/wholesaler. Our cooler is set at 4.5 celsius.
Thank you for this fantastic video. Do you divide your tubers in the fall or spring? Since you have so many, do you bother searching for an eye before dividing? Or do you just divide them all, then plant them all, and whatever comes up, comes up?
We divide in the winter. Since I’ve been growing dahlias for so long, finding eyes isn’t difficult anymore, but I don’t necessarily divide to single tubers anymore on some of our more prolific varieties. We plant specific quantities, so we do inventory dahlia tubers as we divide each winter.
I, personally, have never used this method. We use Quick Dip and cool water when processing, which is just more efficient for the amount of dahlias we’re harvesting and designing with. Maybe I’ll do a test at the shop this year to see how it works in my climate. ☺️
I have been looking for a Canadian flower farm and finally your channel popped on my screen... i love all your dahlias...
Welcome! :)

Love your videos. What is the dahlia at 13:00?
The little pink one is called Camano Love and the fushia one is called Brittany Rey.
Any chance you would be selling tubers of rubber ducky or the other one you kept some thing bee
I notice a lot put their dahlias in hot water when they cut them. I have never done it. Does it improve vase life?
