Spreading the delight & beauty of flowers
from our Montana garden to yours!
About us
Wipf Meadows was unofficially established in 2019 as a desire to provide healthy food for our family and create a beautifully vibrant space in which we could thrive, and so growing flowers was another natural step!
Our farm is located in central Montana, overlooking the Sun River valley where I live with my husband and four wonderful children. We are passionate about regenerative growing and no till, organic practices. And also want you to rest assured we do our absolute best to cull any suspect plants as well as swap out snips to sanitize in-between plants to prevent the spread of disease.
One of my great joys is sharing bouquets of homegrown flowers locally throughout the growing season and am delighted to be able to offer dahlia tubers far and near to bring joy and magic to more homes and gardens!
Thank you for being here, I very much appreciate the love and support!

Basic care for Dahlias
When you receive your tubers, check them immediately and contact me within 3 days if there are any problems. Then store them in a cool dark place (do not refrigerate) until planting.
Planting tubers- after all danger of frost has passed, plant your tubers in a full sun location and space them 12 inches apart and 5-6 inches deep, with the eye or sprout facing up. If soil is a little moist at planting time, watering is not recommended until sprout appears above ground, as that can make tubers rot if they havnt started growing.
Pinching- is recommended for getting the most blooms. When dahlia plants are 6-8 inches tall, you can pinch back the center stalk so that there’s 4-5 sets of true leaves left. The plant will then send out more stems instead of putting all its energy into the center stalk.
General info
Staking is necessary for some varieties.
In most zones, it’s best to lift/dig the tuber clumps in the fall to be stored in a cool spot for the winter, to prevent them from freezing. Tuber clumps can then be divided for many more plants and flowers the following year!!
