Comments regarding K Connell's Dahlias (formerly Connell's Dahlias)

As in past years I am simply astonished how quickly I receive dahlia orders from Connell's Dahlias - two days - at a time when Amazon Prime seems to be averaging 10 -14 days. The tubers all look viable with many having 1/4 inch sprouts. They have a habit of including a couple of "spares" in cases there are any "duds" which is greatly appreciated. Past experience with Connell's indicates that "duds" rarely happen. They aren't as well known as the big companies but they are well worth checking out.

I got my order today, all the tubers looked good. I was very happy dealing with the company, They took the time to answer questions. Look forward to buying from them again.

This year was my first time ordering from this seller. I have to say the dahlia tubers I received were some of the best I've ever seen. Every one was healthy, plump and sprouting. This "K" will replace the other "K" (K. Van Borgendien aka lowlifes) on my ordering list from now on.

I live in MA, and have been dealing with Connell's since the early 90's. They were the first company I ordered dahlias from, and I am still ordering from them. I love them!!! I have NEVER had a problem with them. Yes, sometimes I did receive a very small tuber, but if I had a problem with it, it was handled PROMPTLY and HAPPILY. Some of my smallest tubers grew into very large clumps, so size is not always an issue. Some large tubers were not very good tuber producers at all. With Connell's help, I have become an extremely adept dahlia grower. I know when I am at fault for a failure, and when I am not. When I am the one at fault, I do not expect something for nothing. I just reorder and do better the next time around. As for people who work there having bad attitudes...well, dealing with the public can be frustrating and stressful. I am always kind and positive and am treated the same way in return. If you want great product at a very good price, order from Connell's. You will not regret it.

We have purchased dahlia tubers from this company for years and have always had positive results. We have found their prices to be very competitive. Our only wish would be to have a cultivar index in the catalog and a category for shorter statured "border dahlias" 2.3'-3' or less. We plant our dahlia tubers in nursery pots in a greenhouse and transplant them to the garden when threat of frost is past. The results are flowers for many varieties June-October.

Connell's is clearly responsible for giving us the "bug" for growing dahlias. Their display at the Puyallup Fair each year has always caught our eyes, and we began our new love, thanks to them. We have so enjoyed their open house each August, but now are saddened to see them winding down on their family-run operation. Best to them in all regards, with our thanks. They've backed their product 100 percent, have always been fair to deal with.

I married into a family of dahlia growers forty years ago and have been buying tubers from Connell's for about fifteen years. We have been thrilled with the variety and quality of dahlias that we received year after year. The quality and service is excellent!

I ordered from them for the first time this year, and the 'Show n Tell' dahlia is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

I already have my order placed for 2009!

This was the first order from Connell's and I can't saying anything bad at all! The 3 tubers I ordered where nice, the one was exceptionally HUGE. All 3 are very healthy. This is my first year ordering Dahlias mail order. I placed 3 small orders with 3 different companies...all with great reviews in DG GW...I have been impressed each and every time!
Customer service-superb!
Quality of plant material-GREAT!
I will definitely be ordering from these guys again!

Order from them every year and the tubers are the best. Their customer service can not be beat.

I've ordered from Connell's or purchased tubers at the NW Flower and Garden Show several years running. All tubers arrived promptly in Spring, and grew true to name. I enjoyed great service in person at their wonderful open house and a quick response to email questions as well.
Connell's will remain one of my staple dahlia suppliers.

I order from them every year. I like the website and the tubers are always healthy and are shipped at the proper time with good instructions. Plus they always send a free one. I love free stuff!

If ever in need of dahlias, Connell's is the place to go. Every year they have a week long open house that is just amazing. You are able to walk through their fields (Waller Rd) and see the different variety of dahlias they have to offer. It is so refreshing to see a family run company that puts their dedication into the flowers that they create. At anytime I have had questions, someone has always been there to help me. I received two new varieties this year, Alexander Brodi and Madissen Jayne, what stunning and beautiful flowers. They have hearty stalks, bright green foliage, and perfect petals on each flower. Connell's is a place I will go to time and time again to get my tubers. In the summer, they even offer fresh cut flowers at a very reasonable price.

I have ordered both dahlias and gladiolas from Connell's at the Puyallup fair for several years. I have always received my bulbs and tubers in great shape and in a timely manner for planting.

I use the website for mostly for identifying varieties that I have been given, but have ordered from it, also. Someone else wrote that the picture section is a little unwieldy and that is true, but there are a lot of flowers there!

Received first order this spring. Great prices, great tubers (all up and growing beautifully now), and great communication by email when I asked a question.

We've purchased tubers from Connell's which produced beautiful plants in the garden. Though nice, the catalog does lack in two areas, most noticeably the absence of an index which makes for some tiresome searches as well as a separate section for "bedding size" or dwarf dahlias say 3' or less. Their website is user friendly but the photos take a while to download. We're happy with our encounters with Connell's.

I've ordered on-line and received exactly what I ordered in a timely manner. I've also been to their dahlia farm and will order from them again without hesitation.
