    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Decorative) - Gerrie Hoek

    The petals are so sweet and delicate a little bug started to eat my first bloom. I wasn’t having it and put a vegetable bag over the blossom until it filled out. Then blossoms just started coming. They are such a beautiful, soft pink and get compliments from everyone who sees them. Just looking at them makes me smile. They definitely need support and look out for pests like you normally do. Other than that it was easy to grow.

    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Decorative) - Gerrie Hoek

    Both the tuber clumps had all neck broken. This was a very disappointing buy.

    I planted these on March 23, 2026. I’m in the South USA. All of my other dahlias have sprouted. This one nothing. I also ordered Black Narcissus with this Gerrie Hoek. One Black Narcissus is 4” tall, the other one nothing. I was worried about Gerrie Hoek because the necks were somewhat weak and no sign of eyes. Same with one Black Narcissus. I don’t know what it is about ordering dahlias online but I almost always a negative experience with most of the tubers. I get a bag of 2 and turns out only one will sprout. It’s frustrating.

    Store owner replied: Hello Janie, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry this season's dahlias didn't provide the experience you expected, especially after seeing many of your other dahlias successfully emerge. These tubers were shipped quite early in the season, and cool soil temperatures can sometimes delay dahlias from breaking dormancy; however, we understand your disappointment when some never produced growth and others ultimately bloomed differently than expected. We appreciate you sharing the details of your experience, as we've passed these concerns along to our Quality Control team, who have been working directly with our growers to address the issues reported this season and help ensure the quality and accuracy of future shipments. We're glad we had the opportunity to provide a resolution and hope you'll feel confident giving these beautiful varieties another chance. Whenever you receive a shipment from us, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team right away if you have any concerns about the condition or quality of an item. We want our customers to feel confident in what they receive, and we're always happy to take a closer look and help. We stand behind our products and our Grow Guarantee and truly appreciate the opportunity to continue being part of your garden!

    I ordered 6 different types of dahlias and a total of 12 tubers. Only 2 grew and they looked nothing like what I ordered.

    I agree with the first reviewer's opinion. I have More than 10 kinds of dahlias and this is definitely one of my favorites. I bought it pretty late in the season but it bloomed reliably after eight weeks. The color is beautiful and they look gorgeous both from close by and the far away. Love it.

    Here's one of dahlia lovers' big favorites...this gorgeous bloom is not so huge it drags down a tall plant. The plants are mid-high and the flowers only about 5" wide...plenty big for a dramatic show. Best of all, blooms are prolific, and you'll have a big show from mid-summer til frost. This is one of the most dependably beautiful dahlias I've ever grown.
