First Flower Order!

December 6, 2017
Dahlia

So excited to share that the first seed order for 2018 AND the first ever seed order for the farm was placed last week!!

I ordered dahlia tubers from Sunny Meadows Flower Farm located in Columbus, Ohio. I’m keeping my 2018 order list updated over on this Pinterest Board. I’m really excited to try out dahlias – I’ve heard they’re really fun, productive and am hoping they’re easy on a beginner! I’m much more familiar with growing vegetables – this coming year will be my first go into the world of cut flowers and I could not be more excited to experiment!

Besides what’s on the Pinterest Board, I attempted to order Rock Run Ashley, which are GORGEOUS. But they sold out within minutes while I was updating my PayPal information from the move. I also ordered the dahlia grab bag, which is super exciting because I won’t find out what assortment I’ll get until April 2018. Since I have 0 dahlias right now, everything will be new for me!

It was SO hard to pick and it was so hard to order only a few of each. But, I’m trying hard to start small and not overload myself the first year while I’m still figuring everything else out.

I would love to hear your favorite dahlia varieties, or any must-grow recommendations!
