Shipping Information

Tuber Shipping Timeframes

Dahlia tubers are shipped during September and October, ready for spring planting.

All tubers are carefully stored over winter at our Waikato premises before being individually inspected, packaged, and prepared for dispatch.

Please note that shipping timeframes may vary slightly depending on weather conditions, order volumes, and tuber readiness.

Orders containing preorder tubers will be shipped once all items within the order are ready for dispatch in spring. To avoid multiple shipping charges, we recommend placing all tuber selections within a single order where possible.

Courier Information

Orders are shipped via NZ Post throughout New Zealand.

Courier pricing is based on the most commonly used box and courier bag sizes and is calculated at checkout.
