Harvest Mondays Are Here!
Five New Dahlia Beauties Join Our Catalog
October 12, 2026 | Flaming Acres Dahlias
There's something especially exciting about harvest season at Flaming Acres Dahlias! After months of planting, tending, watering, weeding, and watching our dahlias grow, we're finally discovering what has been happening beneath the soil.
And this year, we're seeing some wonderful results!
We're now beginning our second week of harvest, and the tuber yields have been very encouraging. As each variety comes out of the ground, we're carefully sorting, evaluating, and counting the tubers to determine what we can offer in our online shop.
And that brings us to something new we're especially excited to share with you!
Introducing Harvest Mondays!
Every Monday during harvest, we'll be sharing new additions to our online catalog, along with updated inventory as our tuber counts become available.
That means you won't have to wait until the entire harvest is finished to discover what we've been growing!
Some weeks may bring exciting varieties making their debut in our shop, while others may bring additional quantities of familiar favorites that were previously unavailable.
Our goal is simple: Give you more opportunities to find the dahlias you've been hoping to grow in your own garden.
And today, we're delighted to introduce five beautiful varieties!

Fresh From the Harvest — And Ready for Your Garden!
One of the things we love most about growing dahlias is discovering which varieties truly shine in our fields.
Throughout the growing season, we're watching how each variety performs, from the strength of its stems and the abundance of its blooms to the quality of the tubers it produces.
Harvest gives us another important piece of that story.
As we lift each clump from the soil, we get to see the results of an entire season of growing. Some varieties surprise us with their generous tuber production, while others remind us that every dahlia has its own personality!
By carefully evaluating our harvest and updating our inventory as we go, we're able to share these beautiful varieties with you while the excitement of the season is still fresh.
Make Mondays Your Dahlia Discovery Day!
We hope you'll make a little time each Monday to visit Flaming Acres Dahlias and see what's new.
As harvest continues, we'll be introducing additional varieties and updating quantities of dahlias already in our catalog. Because tuber yields vary, some varieties may be available in limited numbers.
If you've had your eye on a particular dahlia, it's always a good idea to order when you see it available.
And don't forget our October offers!
We're celebrating the season with free shipping on orders of $75 or more, and our subscribers can enjoy their additional 10% discount with their subscriber coupon code.

From Our Fields to Your Gardens
Harvest is one of the busiest times of the year here at Flaming Acres, but it's also one of the most rewarding.
Every tuber represents the possibility of another beautiful garden, another season of blooms, and another opportunity to share our love of dahlias with someone else.
Thank you for following along, cheering us on, and being part of what we're growing here at Flaming Acres Dahlias.
We can't wait to show you what next Monday brings!
Happy gardening!
