Dahlias require delicate care. For a similar look with easier maintenance, consider our collection of Daisies and Poms or Mums and Spider Mums!
Please Note
Your flowers will arrive looking thirsty and sleepy. This is completely NORMAL. Please see our Flower Care tab on this page to learn how to properly care for and handle your flowers.
As flowers are a natural product of Mother Nature and monitor resolutions can differ, the exact color tones of this flower may vary to some degree.
Package contents and prices are based on availability and may change due to weather and market conditions. If a substitution is necessary, we take great care to ensure your order closely matches your original flower choice, even if this means substituting flowers of higher value. While we will make every effort to contact you, there may be rare instances where we are unable to reach you in time. In such cases, we may proceed with substitutions to ensure your order ships on schedule, even without prior verbal confirmation.
Caring for Your Dahlias
Our flowers are shipped directly from our farms to your doorstep. Before shipping, we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. If your flowers appear "sleepy" or "thirsty" after their journey, this is completely normal. Follow the steps below to ensure your dahlias receive the proper care.
Please note: Dahlias are extremely delicate and require refrigeration.
Flower Care Steps – From Arrival to Arrangement
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect
Process Immediately: Get your flowers in water as quickly as possible after arrival.
Remove Packaging: Open boxes and remove any protective materials, such as foam or paper.
Inspect Your Flowers: Examine all stems and blooms for any visible concerns.
Unpack Safely: Cut any straps and remove rubber bands or plastic sleeves holding the bunches together.
Step 2: Prepare the Containers
Choose Clean Containers: Use sanitized buckets or vases. We recommend rinsing them with warm water to remove bacteria or residue.
Fill with Water: Add at least 4 inches of cold, fresh water. If floral food is available, mix it according to package instructions.
Step 3: Trim and Place in Water
Remove Foliage Below Waterline: Strip off any leaves that would fall below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
Cut Stems Correctly: Use sharp floral shears or scissors to cut about 1 inch off each stem diagonally under cool, running water.
Place Immediately: Place the freshly cut stems into your prepared container of water right away.
Do Not Overcrowd: Give stems space to breathe. Overcrowding can damage the blooms and interfere with hydration.
Step 4: Hydrate and Maintain
Hydration Time: Allow at least 4 hours for flowers to hydrate — dahlias may take up to 12 hours to fully perk up.
Monitor Water Levels: Dahlias drink heavily upon arrival. Refill water frequently to ensure all stems stay submerged.
Change Water Daily: Refresh water every 24 hours to prevent bacteria and keep flowers looking fresh.
Step 5: Storage Conditions
Refrigeration Recommended: Dahlias are best stored in a floral cooler or refrigerator set to a minimum of 34°F — but never freezing.
Avoid Ethylene Exposure: Remove all fruits and vegetables from your refrigerator before placing dahlias inside, as ethylene gas can severely damage the blooms.
Environment: Keep flowers away from sunlight, drafts, and extreme temperatures at all times.
