Then the rain came. And it rained. And rained some more.

And apparently dahlias cannot swim. 😝

So far the farm has had 17” of rain! Usually we get about 8” all summer. I’ve been told this is the wettest the area has been since the late 1960s.

All my annuals (cosmos, basil, zinnias, bee balm, etc) were lost to too much rain AND I’ve lost a number of my ‘special’ dahlias as well. (More in the next post!! ➡️)

It’s been a while lovelies!! I haven’t been on the socials much in the past three months - I can’t say I’ve missed it! - but I’ve missed sharing with you all!!

This growing season has been a HARD one for everyone here in Alberta! It’s hard to believe this was the gardens in the beginning of May. Full of promise and hope and healing (I was in a car accident in April and got a concussion - but we got the tubers in!)

But Mother Nature had other plans….. [next post ➡️]

Hurry!!! Today and tomorrow is your last chance to order dahlia tubers for the 2026 growing season!! ✨

I’m not the only one ready for spring! Some of the dahlia tubers are sending out shoots already! Almost all the tubers have gorgeous eyes (Sylvia is one of my last to eye up in the spring), and they over wintered SO WELL.

If you are dreaming of a gorgeous dahlia garden this season - HURRY! I’d love to share these beauties with you! Link in my bio! 🌸✨

Choosing dahlias for your dream garden can be very overwhelming - there are so many varieties and colors and forms available. I've created a series to share both here on Instagram and on my blog (link above in bio) I hope can give you some guidance finding your favorite varieties.

If you feel overwhelmed with ALL the different dahlia varieties and don’t know where to start I suggest simply picking your favorite color.

Let's talk COLOR: pecifically yellow 💛

I naturally don't gravitate towards yellow, I usually prefer coral and peach-y dahlias. However there are a few yellow dahlias that I love and cannot recommend enough:

💛Labyrinth, Ferncliff Spice, Graceland (this variety has a bit more orange when the blooms just open), Sawtooth Blossom (exclusive to Sawtooth Farm!), Golden Sceptre, and Mister Frans (has a hint of peach, not a true yellow dahlia).

(I'm on the look out for other more "true" yellow varieties- do you have any favorites?)

✨Yvonne✨

Glowing peach and coral blooms sit atop super long stems!! A prolific bloomer and show stopper in the garden and in arrangements. A farm and florist favorite! Blooms are 4" in diameter and despite its delicate appearance this variety holds up very well in the vase.

🌸I only have a few tubers remaining in the shop if you want this beauty in your garden this season!! Link in the bio!

✨Cafe au Lait Royal✨

Just like the ever popular Cafe au Lait dahlia, this sought after variety boosts massive blooms with a cream base, but these blooms are streaked with bright magenta pink! Blooms are 6-10" diameter and are stunning arranged en masse.

'Salmon Runner' has the most dreamy and vintage vibe with her bright raspberry blossoms with a dark smoky center and lighter tips. The neon lime center is just *chef's kiss*.

(You guys must love her too - I'm currently sold out of tubers for this variety! Thank you!!)

'Golden Scepter'✨

This sweet dahlia is literally the sun in dahlia form! This prolific and vigorous variety churns out an abundance of golden yellow blooms all season long! The 2.5" diameter petite blooms are on long straight stems and are wonderful in mixed bouquets.

I love pairing Golden Scepter with sunflowers and dark red dahlias such as Karma Chocolate and Viking for a bold fall arrangement. This variety also pairs well with pink and coral blooms as well (like Pretty Please and Wizard of Oz). 🌸
