    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Dinnerplate) - Cafe au Lait Collection

    So I ordered this in the spring and my bulbs are just now forming buds and/or opening. The first to open isn’t even the correct bulb. This was suppose to be a Cafe au Lait variety and I got a bright red/burgundy bulb that doesn’t even appear to be a dinner plate dahlia. This is the second time Eden Brothers has failed me and I will never order from them again!

    Store owner replied: Hello Val. Thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear that your dahlia did not bloom true to the variety you ordered. Dahlias don't reveal their true variety until they bloom, which unfortunately means mix-ups are often not discovered until months after planting. We appreciate customers who take the time to report these issues, as it allows us to investigate with our growers and help prevent similar problems in the future. While we're glad we had the opportunity to provide a resolution, we're sorry it did not fully meet your expectations. At Eden Brothers, we stand behind our products and are committed to providing the varieties our customers order. We appreciate your feedback and regret that we fell short of earning your continued confidence!

    These are the most gorgeous dahlias I have ever grown. They are absolutely stunning and huge! The plants are sturdy and just coming into bloom in my garden. The biggest bloom so far is about 8.5” wide. I have tons of buds and looking forward to more blooms.

    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Dinnerplate) - Cafe au Lait Collection

    I am so pleased with the quality of these bulbs!! Every single tuber had eyes already and 2 even had sprouts. 2 weeks later and 1 even has 3 sets of leaves and ready for pinching! The service has been excellent. One of my bulbs were all broken up and not viable so I emailed them and they gave me a refund immediately. Very happy with Eden Brothers and can't wait to see if they bloom!

    Disappointing to say the least. I hadn't ordered from your company before this order of Cafe Au Laid Dinnerplate Collection and I'm nervous to order in the future. I have my eye on the Romantic Mix Collection but that collection has just as bad of reviews. Major dissapointment.

    Only 2 of the 3 tubers that arrived were viable sadly and of the 2 only one bloomed the other had great foliage but no blooms. I knew that was a risk as I purchased them during the sale and they arrived at the end of June. We'll see how they do next season. For the price, it was worth the risk.

    I ordered this collection. 2 of the 3 have bloomed and neither are cafe or dinner plate dahlias. I ended up with a small yellow dahlia and purple this far. Disappointing.
