    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Mini Pompon) - Small World

    Planted one tuber in pot and the other in ground. Both bloomed successfully and has been producing pretty flowers continuously for over a month now.

    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Mini Pompon) - Small World

    I have never grown flowers before this year—normally I’m a vegetable gal. I bought these on a whim and planted them in pots in mid May. This is after just over two week. Both tubers have sprouted with multiple eyes. I’m so excited to see the blooms! I appreciate the detailed instructions Eden brothers gives regarding planting and care. They also have great customer service. So far I am very happy with my purchase.

    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Mini Pompon) - Small World

    I planted many dahlia bulbs, zinnias seeds, and cosmos seeds from Eden Brothers for my son’s August wedding. All but one bulb came up and I was amazed, in a fairly small footprint of soil, at how many blooms we had for the wedding! These golf-ball sized white (with a wisp of pink as the bloom matures) compact blossoms were the favorite of the bride’s and her bridal party. They add such a great texture and size to the bouquets and arrangements. Wonderful, straight and strong stems too!

    I love these. They are gorgeous and form the perfect small little pompom balls. They didn't bloom nearly as much as my other dahlias. The only problem I had is that I wanted more 🤣

    Unfortunately I bought two bulbs and they didn’t come up at all, wondering if there was a problem with the bulbs! What a bummer. Not a planting issues as the rest of my bulbs grew and are doing well.

    Store owner replied: Hello Ginny. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that neither of these dahlia tubers emerged. We understand how disappointing that is, especially when the rest of your bulbs and tubers in the garden grew successfully. While environmental conditions such as cool, wet soil, planting depth, or drainage can sometimes affect emergence, we understand your concern when two tubers of the same variety failed while your other plantings performed well. We reached out by email to offer a resolution but haven't heard back yet. We'd still love the opportunity to help, so please reply to our original email if you'd like to discuss the resolution options available. We want you to be happy with your purchase from Eden Brothers, and we stand behind our products and are always here to help our gardeners succeed!

    The dahlia bulb dissolved completely and didn't come up (and was only planted in April). The shipment also came 2-3 weeks late as well. These are not cheap bulbs and I was highly disappointed. The bulbs I bought at Home Depot did better than these honestly.

    Store owner replied: Hello Lauren. Thank you for your review for us. We are sorry to hear that your dahlia tuber did not grow and that your order arrived later than expected. Dahlias grow best when planted in warm, well-drained soil after the danger of frost has passed. If the soil remains cool or stays overly wet for an extended period, tubers can soften or rot before they have a chance to sprout. Planting them once soil temperatures have warmed and avoiding excess moisture during establishment can help encourage healthy growth. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and provide a resolution. Your feedback is valuable as we continue to improve both our products and our service, and we hope we'll have the chance to earn back your confidence in the future!

    I planted them 4+ weeks ago and I have not seen anything break through the ground yet.

    Store owner replied: Hello Sherri L. Thank you for posting your review for us. We are sorry to hear that your Small World dahlia had not emerged after four weeks! While many dahlias sprout within a few weeks, cooler soil temperatures, weather conditions, moisture levels, and planting depth can sometimes delay emergence, and some varieties take a bit longer to get started. We were glad we were able to connect with you directly and provide a resolution that you were happy with. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you're able to enjoy beautiful blooms from your garden this season!

    My blooms did not have the expected solid, sturdy ball form like pictured and like in some of the other satisfied reviewers. The blooms were also bigger than expected, and they seemed more like an informal decorative form. The blooms were also more of a stark white rather than the creamy coloring I was hoping for.

    I purchased a wide variety of dahlias this year…this is one of only three that bloomed. Bright light among a lot of disappointments. Profuse enough that I could make cup bouquets to take into coworkers three or four time a week.

    These are not small world, got sent what looks like blizzard dahlias after some research. They did bloom nicely but not the variety I purchased.

    They mislabeled my dahlia. I do not recommend buying from Eden brothers!

It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products and processes. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you.

    I had reservations about this dahlia because I thought it might be too small to use in arrangements but boy was I wrong. This mixes with any flowers, produces a ton of the ponpom heads and is just a pleasure to look at . My favorite for 2022!!
