Dahlia Spotlight
This past summer was my first growing Dahlias. I think I saw an image on Pinterest of Dahlias and I was hooked. I ordered tubers immediately. I originally ordered from Eden Brothers and I was really happy with my harvest.
I grew some beautiful varieties and the tubers are still in the great shape to be replanted next year. However, I’ve recently discovered the beauty of more obscure varieties that are often only available through smaller, more specialized sellers.
Triple Wren Farms is located in Washington and they sell fresh cut flowers as well as dahlia tubers. I stumbled upon their instagram when a fellow flower farmer posted their order of tubers and I jumped on it.
Their site is not only a store, Sarah has been running Triple Wren Farms since 2012 and she shares the knowledge she’s collected over the years on her site. She also offers workshops and master classes for aspiring growers and designers.
Now onto a few of my favorite varieties from Sarah’s Main & Legacy Collection-
Bloomquist Awaken Dahlia Tuber- Legacy - Bloomquist Awaken is a semi cactus form dahlia created by dahlia hybridizer Paul Bloomquist of Lynden, Washington. Her 5"-6" blooms are "muddy raspberry" and white, with a deep golden center. This dahlia is part of our new Legacy Collection. 36"-48" tall. This listing is for one (1) dahlia tuber.
2. Bloomquist Blast Off Dahlia Tuber - Legacy - Bloomquist Blast Off was created by dahlia hybridizer Paul Bloomquist of Lynden, Washington, and is part of our Legacy Collection. A large (8"+) soft orange informal decorative form dahlia, Blast Off's warm honey-palette color makes it so useful for event work. It is always stunning in the garden: absolutely gorgeous. 36"-48" tall. This listing is for one (1) dahlia tuber.
3. Ice Cube Dinnerplate Dahlia Tuber - Main -Ice Cube is a very large dinnerplate dahlia with petals that each look like Impressionist watercolor paintings. She throws stem after stem of pastel beauty for us for us and blooms constantly from early season to frost, starting earlier than many of our dinnerplate dahlias. This listing is for one (1) tuber. Plant height 46”-48”.
4. Strawberry Ice Dahlia Tuber- Main - Strawberry Ice is an enormous, lush (8") decorative-form dinnerplate dahlia. It boasts strong stems and is a strong re-bloomer.

5. Penhill Watermelon Dahlia Tuber - Main - Penhill Watermelon is an amazing, large (8"+) dinnerplate dahlia. It boasts decently strong stems for such a large bloom, and is a strong re-bloomer. This dahlia grows quite tall and keeps producing right to the end of the season for us. Penhill Watermelon is a lovely peachy-coral ombré. This listing is for one (1) tuber. Plant height 48”-60”
