Listings are for 1 tuber unless noted otherwise in the listing.

We are unable to add to, cancel or remove from orders once they are placed. If you want to order more tubers, you need to place a second order.

Our Farm Guarantee: We guarantee that our tubers are true to variety, have a viable eye, and an intact neck.

Tuber orders must be placed separately from fresh cut flower products, seeds, fall Bulbs, rooted cuttings, etc.

Items in your cart are NOT reserved until you complete checkout & place the order.

Quantities: Please note we are a micro farm and quantities will be limited. For some new to us cultivars we only grow 1 plant - others, we grow up to 20.

Limits: Due to the above, we will place household limits on certain varieties in hopes that more customers can get what they want. This will not be automatically applied in checkout. Please respect the limit rules in the tuber listing. We will cancel orders that do not respect the limits.

Spring 2026 Shipping Policy: We ship to the USA Lower 48 only. You may select USPS Ground Advantage Shipping or USPS Priority Mail shipping at checkout. Please note that we are located in Connecticut and base your decision around this - it can take extra time for packages to reach the West Coast from here. Shipping will begin in late March if the weather is clear. We will ship by growing zone. We cannot accommodate early shipping or pickups. We are not responsible for damage to tubers/tubers freezing due to USPS handling or being left outside at your door, so make sure to check your tracking once you see that your order has shipped. We will do our best to pay attention to your weather. All orders will be shipped by the end of April 2026.

Combined Shipping: If you would like to place multiple orders in this sale, we will combine shipping on orders for a $3 fee up until March 10th. This fee covers monetary losses associated with issuing refunds. To get your shipping combined, please purchase the $3 combined shipping fee listing in the tuber shop. You can purchase this one time and we will combine all of your orders into one shipment and refund you the shipping difference based on the new shipping tier your order falls under. No need to email us order numbers, but: Important: Your name, email address and mailing address must match on your orders (including the order of the combined shipping fee if you purchase it separately) for us to combine them. Please also try to select the same shipping provider on your various orders (priority mail or ground advantage) so we know which one to go with.

We will get through refunds as soon as we can so please be patient as this is all done manually. When your order ships you will only receive one tracking email.

Local Pickup - Saturday, April 4th between 12PM-3PM in Bristol CT. If there is a threat of severe freezing that day (this is New England after all) we will offer a different weekend date. Please select Local Pickup at Checkout. If you cannot pickup your order on this date and time, we will invoice you for shipping and will ship your order to you once the invoice has been paid.

Virus/Disease Policy - All of our stock was grown out by us here in central Connecticut. We are licensed by the state to sell dahlias. We do not sell imports. We do not hold any U-Picks. All tools that come in contact with our dahlias are strictly sanitized with a 10% bleach water soak for 10 minutes between all plants during all stages of the season, including dividing tubers. We cull plants that are showing any signs of virus. We visually inspected each clump and tuber, and none of our tubers presented any form of gall during the 2025 season. Virus and disease do happen and sometimes do not show up right away. The ADS estimates that 87% of dahlias in the US carry some form of virus. Due to these statistics/our strict sanitation procedures, we do not offer refunds if your plants show forms of virus/disease during your growing season. Once they are out of our hands, it is out of our control.

Storage Loss Policy - We mitigate loss as much as possible, but as this is a pre-sale, storage loss can happen. If we cannot fulfill your order at the time of shipment, we will reach out to you via email with a refund.

Inspection on Arrival -  Your Tubers will ship in individually packed, labeled plastic bags with peat moss or vermiculite. Some moisture loss can happen in transit. Make sure to vent these bags if you notice condensation building up (condensation happens due to temperature changes) to prevent mold growth. Mold from condensation is not a big deal and can be wiped off. Tubers come in all shapes and sizes, and some can look totally weird! We grade our tubers (A & B). All tubers are Grade A unless specified in the listing. Remember that we are essentially growing fancy potatoes, even grade A tubers can look imperfect. We often cut the ends off tubers during harvest to check for rot, and will cut down tubers that are very large or heavy so that they are easier to pack and ship. This does not affect growth whatsoever. We visually inspect each tuber that is sent out, and guarantee that each has a viable eye, an intact neck, and a body - this is all it needs to grow. Tuber size varies by cultivar and does not affect ability to grow, some make little tubers. Please inspect your tubers immediately upon arrival and email us at info@stemandvinefarm.com within 3 days of receipt if you have any questions or concerns.

Refunds - Tuber refunds will be offered if we cannot fulfill your order due to storage loss on our end, or under farm Guarantee (see the top of this page). We do not cover loss that occurs while they are in your possession or in transit. We are taking extra care to ensure that tubers that are sent out are viable. If you have issues with an order, we will approve refunds on a case by case basis - typically requiring that the tuber be sent back to us at your cost if we feel it is viable.

We reserve the right to update our terms at any time.

Kindness Policy: We understand that Dahlia sales can bring up many emotions. Not everyone will score the cultivar they want. Remember that these are dormant plant roots, and we are human. Sometimes things go wrong. The large majority of sellers are doing their best. Any bashing, rude emails, etc. will result in your order being cancelled and any future orders from you being cancelled. We grow because we love it, and we'd like to keep the Dahlia community a positive experience for all of us.

"Grade B" / Runt tubers - Late Winter 2026 Sale: Grade B tubers are tubers that we would normally keep for ourselves to grow, but we have too many to keep this season! They could be smaller than usual, have thinner necks (but still firm enough), have lost some moisture/slightly soft, the body may have been accidentally cut into during harvesting, or simply way too weird or ugly to grade as Grade A, etc. We will send you a viable tuber with a viable eye and an intact neck. They are available at a discounted rate due to aesthetic reasons. We will not refund Grade B tubers due to their looks. By purchasing a Grade B product, you understand and agree to this disclaimer. Please also remember that no tuber is perfect - even grade A tubers.

Fall 2025 shipping sale policies: This sale is for growers who are in lower zones that plant early, or for cold zone growers who want to propagate over the winter and are confident in their winter storage abilities. Fall tubers are at the buyer's risk. Please do not order fall tubers if you are unable to store them properly as we are not liable for any storage loss when they are in your hands. Shipping - We will pay attention to our weather here in CT. If you are concerned about your weather to receive, or weather during transit between Connecticut and where you live, we highly recommend you add a heat pack to your order. We are not liable for losses due to freezing in transit or while the box is waiting for you at your mailbox, so make sure to bring it inside if you are experiencing low temps. Tracking is provided so you can see when it will arrive and we ship USPS Priority mail. Shipping costs: 1-3 tubers $12, 4-15 tubers $19, 16+ tubers $25. No combined shipping available for our fall sale - this is a short sale and we are opening it unannounced to our newsletter subscribers first, so you should have plenty of time to shop. If you are local to Bristol CT and want to pickup your tubers, select Local Pickup at checkout. Pickup will be on Saturday 11/22 in Bristol only.
