Bear Creek Farm Dahlias
We are delighted to be working with an American farm that specializes in growing Dahlias, among other garden treasures. Bear Creek Farm grows more than 100 varieties of Dahlias, plus Peonies and rare flowers, on 38 acres in upstate New York. The farm’s top-quality, colorful, and vigorous Dahlias are a fixture at New York City’s Union Square Greenmarket, and they have won coveted awards, including New York Magazine’s Best Dahlias in 2017. We asked Bear Creek’s proprietor, Debra Kaye, to put her designer’s eye to work on our behalf and she chose a selection of her favorite Dahlia varieties. We encourage you to add some of her beautiful, American-grown Dahlias to your garden.
Demand for all the Dahlias we offer is always high, and for that reason, we recommend you reserve your choices now for best selection. We begin shipping Dahlia tubers in early spring. Each Bear Creek Farm Dahlia arrives in the form of a single tuber (think of one fingerling potato, and that’s roughly what it will look like). As with all Dahlias, we recommend pinching out the central stem as the plants begin to grow. Pinching promotes branching, which will result in a higher blossom count.
