You bought the dahlia tubers. Now what?
You've been dreaming of armloads of gorgeous dahlias on your kitchen table.
So you ordered tubers (maybe more than you planned to - join the club!).
And now you're holding these weird knobby potato-looking things, wondering what to do next.
🤷♀️You Googled "how to plant dahlia tubers" and ended up more confused than when you started. Soil pH? Nitrogen ratios? Pinching? Huh?
🤷♀️You want gorgeous blooms for your home and your neighbors' doorsteps, but you don't have hours to deep-dive into complicated growing guides.
🤷♀️Every resource you find is either too technical (soil tests! hardiness zones! pH!) or too vague ("just water them!").
🤷♀️You're afraid you're going to waste your time and your money on plants that won't bloom… or worse, die before they even try.

I’ve been exactly where you are.
My husband came home with 300 dahlia tubers one spring (yup, 300, not 30! 😐) after I'd handed over some of our precious grocery money for what I thought was going to be a small experiment.
Neither of us had ever grown dahlias. He'd never grown anything, honestly. And I had exactly zero interest in flowers.
That summer, I watered and weeded those plants for months. Months. And still no blooms. I was convinced we'd done something wrong. I was ready to call the whole thing a failure.
Then, in late summer, the first bloom opened… and it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.
I still remember standing in that field, staring at one single bloom as tears of awe and wonder streamed down my face. It sounds ridiculous to say that a flower completely changed my life. But it did.
That was over a decade ago. Today, Three Acre Farm is a family-owned, family-operated micro-flower farm… and that one moment in the dahlia field has led to hundreds of thousands of people discovering what I discovered that day:
That growing something beautiful can genuinely change your life. I’m proof of it.
And you can be too.
I created this handbook because I want YOU to experience your own life-changing dahlia moment, without the confusion, panic, or frustration.
🌸The Dahlia Quick-Start Handbook🌸
Grow stunning blooms your first season… without the overwhelm.
A warm, practical, and personable guide that walks you through your entire first dahlia season, from planting day in the spring to digging tubers in the fall.
Written like I'm sitting at your kitchen table with you, not lecturing you from a podium.

Everything you need to know. Nothing you don't.
No soil science degrees required. No 200-page overwhelm. Just clear, honest and reassuring guidance that gets you from nervous beginner to confident grower.
Here's what's inside The Dahlia Quick-Start Handbook...
📖Chapter 1 · All About Dahlias
The one thing most people get wrong about dahlias (it explains ALL the July panic). Plus a quick, painless anatomy lesson on tubers. No confusing jargon, I promise.
______________________________
📖Chapter 2 · When & Where to Plant
The #1 mistake that kills tubers before they even sprout (planting too early—and I'm going to tell you the real reason why). Plus, the non-negotiable site checklist.
______________________________
📖Chapter 3 · Planting Day
My step-by-step planting process that's so simple you'll finish and think, "Wait. That's really it?" Plus, the two things you should do the moment you put that tuber in the ground.
______________________________
📖Chapter 4 · Caring for Your Dahlias
The practical summer care routine that helps your plants thrive. Plus, the technique that doubles, sometimes triples, your bloom count. (I'll talk you through your fears. It feels terrible, but it’s absolutely worth it.)
______________________________
📖Chapter 5 · Harvesting Your Blooms
The five golden rules for harvesting that most beginners skip, and why your dahlias will actually produce more flowers the more you cut them. This is the magic of dahlias that most people don’t know!

📖Chapter 6 · Digging & Storing Your Tubers
The truth about tuber storage (spoiler alert: it's the trickiest part of growing dahlias) plus storage options for you to explore. You'll end the season with far more tubers than you started with. Here's how to hang onto them for next season.

📖Yours to keep forever
Let me introduce myself...
Lori Hernandez
Founder and Visionary of Three Acre Farm in Byron Center, Michigan (USA)
I'm a former high school art teacher and stay-at-home-mom turned flower farmer.
For over a decade, I've been growing dahlias professionally. I love sharing everything I've learned with my large community of email subscribers and social media followers who trust me to tell the truth about what it's really like to grow flowers (it's not all rainbows and butterflies!).
I've made thousands of mistakes, so you don't have to make all of them yourself. Everything I've learned — from those early disasters to our thriving farm today — is distilled into this handbook, written exactly the way I'd talk to you if you were standing right here on Three Acre Farm.
Dahlias completely changed my life for the better. I believe they can change yours, too. I can't wait to grow with you!
Questions about The Dahlia Quick-Start Handbook? I've got answers.
Q: Is this handbook appropriate for total beginners?
Yup. it's written specifically for beginner growers, and growers with a few years of experience. I don't assume you have a greenhouse or pH meter. I keep it as simple and practical as possible.
Q: What format will I receive?
You'll receive an instant PDF download after purchase. You can read it on your phone, tablet, or computer… or print it out and keep it in the garden shed. (I highly recommend printing the cheat sheet)
Q: I already bought your tubers. Do I still need this?
Yes. The tubers are the WHAT. This handbook is the HOW. Think of it as the instruction manual that comes with your purchase, except much more entertaining and useful than an instruction manual (I promise!). If you've bought tubers from me, this is the companion guide I recommend.
Q: I'm in a hot/cold/unusual climate. Will this still work for me?
Dahlias are grown all over the country, and I include guidance for different climates throughout the handbook, including tips for hot-climate growers and northern growers with short seasons. The foundational techniques are universal.
Q: What if I have questions after I read it?
Great news! The handbook comes with a comprehensive FAQ and troubleshooting guide covering the most common issues I've seen in 10+ years of dahlia farming. There's a good chance your question is already answered in there.
I also share weekly growing tips, farm updates, and flower features with my email community.
Now, if you want me personally answering your specific questions? That's what my online course, Backyard Cutting Garden 101, is for. Inside the course, I personally answer student questions every single week. It's like having a dahlia-obsessed flower farmer on speed dial… and yes, I'm aware speed dial is not a thing anymore, but you get the idea. 😄
If you've ever wanted to just ask someone who actually knows, that's your place.
Let's grow your dahlia dreams... together
From planting your first tuber to harvesting your first bloom, The Dahlia Quick-Start Handbook will guide you every step of the way.
Your first dahlia bloom is waiting for you.
You bought tubers because you believe you can grow something beautiful.
You're right. You absolutely can.
Let me show you how.
