Need some extra plants

Posted by ralfk 8/ Seattle (My Page) on

I'm growing dahlias here in Seattle, and this year I've got four or five tubers that are not coming up. Usually I plant extras in pots to use as backups for the inevitable no shows. But this year most of my back up tubers are also not growing. Does anyone know where I can purchase some plants to fill in for the missing ones in this area? I looked online at Corralitos dahlias and they are done selling plants for the year. I'm going to the PSDA meeting this Thursday and hoping to find some plants for sale there. But just in case there aren't any I could use some suggestions.

Thanks alot-

Ralf

RE: Need some extra plants

Gray Barn Nursery on 202 and Sahalee Way had packaged tubers left late last week. Maybe 5-6 varieties. Sprouting too, not quite dessicated messes yet. I did not look for potted dahlias there.

PSDA might be a good outlet for you. If nothing else, ask around there and some kind soul might be able to help you out. I'd help you out, but I had to do a last minute order myself last week. There's another party in east King Co that might help you; if you have an email on your member page, I'll send that info there.

Here is a link that might be useful: Gray Barn Nursery

RE: Need some extra plants

I might have a few extra potted dahlias. Would you be interested in meeting me at the Fauntleroy Ferry dock (west Seattle) at a prearranged time to get them? I will check what duplicates I have tomorrow if you are interested. I live on Vashon Island.
