Dahlia Policies
Fiorella is a culmination of my passion and experience in everything dahlias. I've been a hobby grower of dahlias for over a decade and still fall in love with these blooms every season.
I expand my inventory each year to bring you new and interesting varieties, whether you're admiring them in our bouquets or checking another tuber off your wishlist.
My stock focuses on varieties suitable as high-quality cut flowers and on those coveted unicorn dahlias that everyone is after.

Cutting Pre-sale Policies
Cuttings are ordered as pre-sale only. This means cuttings are grown to order to avoid caring for more cuttings than we can plant. All cuttings are sold well-rooted.
Varieties marked "NV" (not verified) have not yet been bloom verified as true to variety at our farm, this may be due to the plant not blooming before our early frost in October 2025 or the variety is new to us from one of the reliable growers we purchase from. Regardless of a variety being "NV", all cuttings are guaranteed with a refund available in the case of a mislabel.
Shipping for cuttings will be offered Canada-wide at a flat rate of $35.00. Cuttings require express shipping to avoid transit for more than 2-3 days and require additional packing materials to arrive safely. Large cutting orders may be subject to additional shipping fees based on box size.
A maximum of three orders will be combined. Please pay for shipping on the first order and select local pick up for subsequent orders. We generally do not combine shipping for cuttings and tubers to avoid damage during shipping.
Please ensure you are set up to properly care for your cuttings on arrival - its important that you unpack them as soon as possible.
If you have any concerns with your cuttings on arrival, please email us with photos within 48 hours of receiving them. We cannot provide refunds or credits for cuttings beyond 48 hours, cuttings require immediate care on arrival and may suffer if neglected for even a few days.
Please note we may not be able to provide replacements for cuttings but will work with you for a solution if damage is from shipping.
Please note that some cutting varieties are sold without bloom verification in order to offer you cuttings of coveted varieties as soon as possible. All tubers are sourced from reputable growers. If a variety is a mislabel, please email us with a photo by October 15th 2026 for a credit and to verify dahlia ID.
Tuber Sales
Fall tuber sales are for growers experienced with successful storage. No refunds or replacements will be provided for tubers that do not survive your winter storage.
All fall orders must be picked up by November 10th, shipping will be completed by mid-November. We will not hold fall purchased tubers over the winter.
All tubers are sold with at least one viable eye.
Tuber sizes and shapes vary, we aim to provide only our highest quality tubers that we are confident will grow well. If you have concerns about your tubers, please contact us within 5 days of receiving your order.
All tubers are inspected for gall and plants with signs of virus are culled, please see the health section below for additional protocols.
Tuber Shipping & Local Pick-up
Canada-wide shipping for tubers is available for a flat rate of $28.00.
Shipping begins after the risk of frost has passed, typically beginning in mid-March for locations in BC and later for other provinces. All orders will be shipped to arrive by mid-May at the latest.
If you require your order earlier, we can ship at your own risk with a heat pack - an additional charge of $10.00 for the heat pack will apply.
Local pick-up from the farm can be selected at check-out. Pick up dates are to be determined following each sale. Earlier pick-up dates can be arranged as needed, please contact us for options.
Limits
We are a small-scale grower with limited stock of each variety. Some of our dahlias have an order limit to ensure as many growers as possible can access them.
Combined Orders
We will combine up to three orders. Please select shipping on the first order and select local pick-up for subsequent orders. We will contact you if additional shipping fees apply for orders beyond our standard shipping size and weight.
We cannot combine orders for different products - tubers, cuttings, peonies, and plugs all require separate shipments.
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Cancellations and order adjustments cannot be provided after placing an order. All sales are final.
Please inspect all tubers upon arrival and contact us with any concerns within 5 days of receiving your order. All tubers sold have at least one viable eye.
We cannot provide refunds or credits for tubers or cuttings with poor performance as storage, environmental factors, growing conditions, and planting methods all influence dahlia growth or failure to grow.
We make every effort to ensure dahlias are correctly labelled. In the unlikely scenario you end up with a mislabeled variety, please contact us with photos for a credit or refund and we will help you ID the variety.
Dahlia health protocols:
We make every effort to ensure we have healthy dahlia stock. We purchase new stock from reputable growers, disinfect tools between cutting and dividing, and cull any plants that show signs of virus or gall.
Our tubers are inspected at planting, digging, dividing, and through storage; however, we cannot guarantee our stock is free of pathogens and cannot provide refunds for dahlias that show virus or gall after planting as it is impossible to determine the source of infection after they leave our farm.
Pathogens can be transferred among plants by insects, soil, and tools. Studies by the ADS show a high percentage of dahlias have virus even when asymptomatic. It is recommended to inspect your plants throughout the growing season and to plant new tubers in isolation when possible.
