Recycled, Compostable, Packaging

 

Our aim is to package our dahlia tubers as sustainably as possible. We have selected packaging that is 99.9 % recycled- even down to the packaging water tape!  You can happily pop all the packaging from your purchase, in your own compost or recycling bin, so then, we are all treading lightly upon the earth!

• Dahlia tubers come in all wonderful shapes and sizes. They can be as small as a AA battery or as large as sweet potato!
• The size of the tuber does not determine how healthy your plant will be or how well your flowers will bloom. Our preference is to select tubers that range from small to medium sizing.
• Your dahlia tuber will be placed in a 99.9% recycled, 10 cm x 21 cm x 5 cm gusseted paper bag . The bag will be labelled with the cultivar name of the tuber.
• A small amount of vermiculite / potting medium will be added to the bag to stabilise the tuber in storage for the interim term during transit.
• Your dahlia tuber(s) will be placed in a 99.9% recycled cardboard box.
• Hex Wrap ( compostable and recycled ) will be added if required to prevent the tubers from shimmying around in transit.
• 'Dahlia Care and Growing Guides' will be enclosed with little tips on how to grow your dahlias for the upcoming season.
