Some of the dahlia growers already have their 2008 catalogs up and running. If you order now, they will send them at the appropriate time in the Spring.

If you don't order now, some of the tubers will be sold out. I buy from Ferncliff Dahlia farm and they are already sold out on some tubers. You must also pay now and they ship them in the spring.

Hi ML,
I placed my online orders at Corralito's and Connell's already. 2008 will be my first year trying the SC,C & LC varieties so guess I was a little over excited. Also, I don't want to miss out this year the same way I did last year. Tubers at those specialty suppliers seem to sell out so quickly!

Sorry-

I got busy and forgot to thank you for your responses. Yes, I found out that a lot of the farms are already sold out for '08. Drats!

Actually, only 10 of about 70 known mailorder dahlia sources have published a 2008 list/catalog as of today. Many of the 'Sold Outs' you are seeing online are on 2007 lists like Ferncliff Dahlias which have not yet been updated to reflect all their 2008 offerings.

If you want to keep on top of availability, just go to the Colorado Dahlia Society website (see Below) and link to the BigList Dahlia Locator. Suppliers who are confirmed as updated for 2008 are identified on this page as well as the varieties they are offering.

Over the next two months this list will fill out as 2008 information becomes available.

ferncliff has their 2008 stuff up. I already placed my order. ;>)

Wynne's Dahlias has been taking orders for a couple of months & still has lots of great ones for you to order- plus they always give a nice freebee -- or lots of nice freebees if your order is big- usually at least one for every order & anything over $25 gets you an extra one for each $25. I've ordered from them for years & never been disappointed.
