🌼🌸PEAK DAHLIA season is underway🌼🌸
Did you know that dahlias only bloom in Maryland between August-late October? They are a gem of a flower. Thousands (literally) of colors and shapes, make this flower a coveted variety for design work.
We grow our dahlia varieties based on several factors: Wholesale Vs. retail palette trends, Productivity, bloom size & structure, and their ability to make great tubers.
We wholesale a ton of dahlias weekly BUT we are finally at 🌟peak harvest🌟 and will have dahlias available more consistently for you at our Roadside Stand and at the Anne Arundel County Farmers Market on Saturdays. (Be sure to watch our Facebook or instagram stories daily for details)
Sadly, dahlias don’t have the best vase life. Despite this, they are still very very popular.
I think the reason dahlias are SO popular is because they can’t be readily found or imported from other countries. If you see them at the grocery store, that’s a rare sight and you’re lucky to get them home without crashing 😞. With their short season, short vase life, the best way to fully consume yourself in their beauty is to BUY LOCAL!!
To maximize vase life, we pre hydrate our dahlias in hydration solution and flower food. Once you get yours home, place them in clean fresh water in a clean vase. Make sure all the leaves are stripped and not hanging out in the water. You want to keep the stem clean and clear so it can constantly hydrate itself.
If you made it to the end of this post, 😆We will have Dahlia bunches available TODAY at our roadside stand from 2 pm-dusk. Come grab a bunch as we only have about 3 weeks left of the season!
