What to expect when you're expecting tubers.

 

The cutest taters.

It is a common misconception that bigger=better when it comes to tubers. We love transparency, so that's what we're going to give you.
Some tubers are hideous. Some are fat. Some are skinny. Some have long necks, and some have almost no necks. Some are bulbous (my personal fave) and some are lengthy, bent, dented, chipped. Some of them spiral around eachother, causing them to be curved. Some tubers are 7" long, and some are just 2" long. Some tubers can also be partially connected. This is typically done to ensure there is an eye, and to prevent possible snapping, maintaining the integrity of the tuber.
All of these things are totally fine.

All you need..

What's a healthy tuber?
A tuber with at least one eye.
A tuber with a body.
A tuber with an intact neck. ( Please note that if there is some slippage of the skin on the neck, it is still totally fine and will grow a beautiful plant)
Textures for tubers can vary, some may have wrinkles, some may be firm, or even a little soft. Anything mushy is a bad sign, but some slight wrinkles or softness is normal.
We send you tubers that will grow. That does not mean we send the most perfect looking, beauty pagent, award winning tubers you have ever seen.
Truth is, for several years now we have held back so many small fellas.. but we arent letting that happen much longer. We need to break that stigma that is not only spreading incredibly false information, but its also preventing YOU from getting the chance to grow something beautiful that you've had on your list for months.

We aren't keeping them from you.

We want you to have the same opportunity to grow beautiful plants that will thrive in your garden.
Every tuber you see here is from a highly sought after variety that many people asked me about after we sold out, very quickly. Just know that all of these tubers ended up being planted in our garden and are currently 4-5ft tall, producing beautiful blooms. Despite how they look.
Trust me when I tell you, when you look out your window and see a thriving plant growing in your garden, you and your neighbors will not care what that tuber looks like underground. I promise you that.
Nobody has ever questioned my ugly tubers in mid July.
(Truth is, if they did - we probably wouldn't be friends)
So join us ( and your neighbors) in sitting back and ooh'ing ang ahh'ing over those blooms all summer!
