Beautiful but only 6/8 bloomed

The size of the flower was gorgeous!

Only 3 of 4 tubers grew

Disappointed that only 3 of the 4 tubers grew. It will make the spot I planted them uneven. Still to be seen if these will bloom

Hello Amanda,
If a bulb such as a dahlia fails to emerge, we recommend gently digging up the bulb to see if it was eaten/damaged by rodents or if it rotted due to too much moisture.
Dahlias can be fickle and refuse to bloom. This is usually a response to weather (too warm, not enough moisture, etc) but it can also be due to a virus or other disease problem. Our 100% guarantee ensures you will receive a full refund or free replacement tubers next spring, whichever you prefer.

It's fine.

The mero star is quite wonderful but there were only 3 blooms this year. One of the
cake Au Laite came up and is a few inches tall. the other one never surfaced.

Hello Lyn,
Thank you for leaving a review. We take pride in our products and are sorry to have disappointed you. Dahlias can be fickle and simply refuse to grow. This is why we don't hesitate to offer replacements or a full refund. We have issued a refund for your purchase and hope you’ll give us another try.

No thanks.

Received incorrectly labeled Cafe Au Lait from this bundle and was ignored by Longfield. The Mero Star variety was labeled correctly and is beautiful but I am disappointed by the mislabeling. Clearly labeled as peach colored but received something completely different.
