Go right to the source! Check the reviews, which are from dahlia addicts (Swan Island has pretty low reviews, fwiw).

I placed orders with Dahlias by Julie, Columbia River Dahlias and I forget who else (I chose, I paid, now I get to wait and let the surprises-by-spring arrive!).[/quote]
The boutique suppliers are either entirely sold out or the best varieties are gone. The big growers still have a decent variety of stock left. [/quote]
Right. If you want the boutique suppliers, you order in November with the rest of us. My experiences with the big growers has me never buying big again.

Dahlias aren’t fussy except when they are. They don’t like much water until they’re above ground and then they need a lot of it. All the big growers say to pinch them out for bushier plant and more blooms, but I live in a short growing season place and that sets me back 2-6 weeks so I don’t do it anymore. I do use the best fertilizer I can find and from the most natural sources possible to feed the microbiome (fish guts vs chemical factory, for example). They’re happier in some places in my garden than in others. [/quote]
