Tree Planting for Plant Sales
For every 10 plant sales (online or in person, excluding bulbs) at Dachshund Dahlia Plant Nursery, Trees for Life UK will plant a tree from a healthy range of native species to contribute to the health and biodiversity of forests which will be rich in wildlife and protected for future generations. Currently, Trees for Life are planting trees in the Scottish Highlands with ones contributed through corporate groves being planted in Glen Affric where they have been rewilding for over 25 years.

Dahlia Faro Cutting Raised Plant
It should be kept indoors in a pot or in a greenhouse until all risks of frost have passed in your area. When ready, it can go straight outdoors into a pot or into the ground. The plant you purchase may eventually need support eg with canes, trellis etc.
Dahlias will not survive if left in the garden over Winter if it is very frosty or wet so you should lift the tubers once the foliage has been blackened by frost.
Cut the stems back, gently lift the tuber and remove the soil. Place the tubers upside down so that they can dry out for a couple of weeks in a dry place. Store the tubers in a dark, cool, frost-free place.
In milder locations, with well drained soil, you can cover the soil with a thick layer of compost/straw to prevent frost from penetrating the tubers.
Plants will be delivered on the Sunday after you place and pay for your order. Orders must be received no later than 4pm on a Saturday for Sunday delivery.
Plants will be delivered securely wrapped and supported in a compostable, biodegradable EN13432 produce bag with their pot removed so we can recycle or re-use it.
