Great!

Fabulous plant — prolific, pretty citrus yellow, impressive large blooms.

Great new addition

Lovely color and shape - took a little while to get blooming but then was quite prolific

This dahlia was one of my favorites and a great producer!

I love the soft yellow color and the fact that it was an early bloomer in my garden, producing flower after flower all season long! It's definitely a great dahlia!

Excellent!

It is a season long producer of lovely and bright lemon yellow blossoms. Wonderful in the garden as well as brightening up cut flower arrangements!

Very good!

The dahlia was very strong in the stems which supported the beautiful flowers very well.

Hello Swati,
We are sorry you are unhappy with the dahlias that you purchased from us. Our dahlias are grown in the Netherlands and are mechanically harvested, washed, sorted and packed. Dahlia clumps can be damaged at any point in this process, and shipping adds yet another opportunity for tubers to break off. We wish it were different, but some amount of breakage is inevitable. The good news is that when you plant an entire clump, you will almost always get one or more sprouts, even if some of the tubers have broken off. It's also important to know that some varieties of dahlias always produce fewer or smaller tubers than others. Weather conditions during the growing and harvest seasons also impact tuber size and quality. Lastly, dahlias can be fickle and simply refuse to grow. This is why we don't hesitate to offer replacements or a full refund. Our customer service team will be contacting you to arrange for a refund or a replacement order.

Leafy gall

Found Leafy gall on one of the plants. Darn, it is such a profuse bloomer with light yello blooms.

Hello Paula,
Here's some background on our dahlia tubers. The dahlias that we sell are field-grown in the Netherlands, where the clumps are mechanically harvested, washed, sorted and packed. It's possible for the tubers to be damaged at any point in this process, as well as during shipping. The good news is that a clump of tubers almost always produces one or more sprouts. But dahlias can be fickle and sometimes simply refuse to grow. This is why we don't hesitate to offer replacements or a full refund. Dahlias are also vulnerable to a number of viral and bacterial diseases that are very difficult to identify until they show up. We do our best to catch problems before they get to you, but when that doesn't happen, we appreciate hearing about it.
