Producer

Growing over 2200 beautiful dahlias and a selection of cut flowers for market and florists. In the fall we dig & divide our tubers which are offered to Canadian flower growers in our February sale.

We are committed to providing the healthiest flowers and tubers that we can and take disease and virus prevention very seriously.

We visually inspect plants regularly throughout the season and will pull plants at the first sign of symptoms, without hesitation, no matter the variety. Testing using Agdia Strips for CMV, INSV, TSWV and TSV is done periodically. The two main vectors for spread of disease are contaminated tools and insects. Any tools that are used in the production of dahlias - from taking cuttings to harvesting blooms to digging and dividing tubers - are sanitized between each and every plant. We employ numerous natural controls to reduce insects known to cause issue such as sticky traps, earwig traps and beneficial insects such as ladybugs, aphidoletes, green lacewings.

Despite all of the measures we take, there are no guarantees. Virus and disease can be spread from thousands of other plants in existing landscapes. We plant what we sell and healthy plants are of the highest priority.
