Would like to trade dahlia tubers

I have Winsome, Thomas Edison, and a yellow. I can find the name of yellow if desired. Am looking for great performers and I live in the south. Pink, white, and a blush or lavender color is what I'm looking for.

Thank you,
Carla

Try again in the spring, or EARLY next fall. It is too cold to ship tubers at this time of year.

Have a great holiday season

HI Carla. I love dahlias but don't have any to trade. If you want to trade for daylilys contact me in early spring.

I will have a ton to give to you in the Spring if they eye up.

Thank you all for the responses.
Irish, I'd love to trade daylilies. I accused my husband of killing some lately, he better not have.
pdshop, thank you for the kind offer. I will contact you.
I could send you some Winsome. It's the only one large enough this year.

I left another message that didn't get posted. In the Spring I can see what eyed up. I also bought some more just in case and I couldn't resist. I will be loaded if the tubers in the basement survive. Would love to give them away so they will have homes.

I looked in the basement and it looks like so far, the trunkload of red decrotive Dahlia tubers I was given are surviving. I pulled a few out and they are nice and plump.
Hope they eye up and I can find the eyes!
Would also like to trade in the Spring. I was given so many, (about 200lbs of tubers) I would hate to have them go to waste

busylizzy, I am not a big fan of red but if you have other colors, we can discuss that.

Thank you everyone.

Hello,

I would like to recommend Pinelands Princess as a good performer! It is a lovely pink and white lacinated cactus and it produces tons of bulbs and winters over very well! I have many to give away!

RE: Would like to trade dahlia tubers

Thanks all. I read an article yesterday about digging, eyes, fungicide, etc. I'm able to overwinter mine in the ground here. Once, before I knew about eyes, I took a tuber and planted it at my mother's house. It survived.
I will gladly pay for tubers or do a trade. I haven't ordered any for spring, yet. I want them all!
Winsome does VERY well for me here.

I wish I could trade some of mine... But I don't trust that they will perform as expected of know for sure what variety is what!! Hopefully the summer will be fuitful and I will have some to trade next year! Of course, I don't think that Canadians can ship tubers over the boarder without cruising for a bruising... I suppose that limits me to other Canuk Dahlia lovers...

RE: Would like to trade dahlia tubers

homemommy! You can trade with me! I live in Canada and should have some to spare...I thought I lost them with all the power outages we had over the winter....So I happily ordered more...and now it turns out some of mine survived....so I should have more than enough. Do you have any particular ones that you looking for? I only grow for cutting so I mostly have B's and BB's

Hey Busy-Girl, I will PM you. I am not sure what B's and BB's are, but if you are not familiar with my tubers back story, I need to fill you in.

The plants I would have to trade are dinner plate dahlias. They are either purple, or purple and white in colour. (Lilac time and I think it was Moms Special). But, I won't know which I am sending due to issues last year and not identifying during storage. Where in Canada are you?
