grown for dahlia lovers by dahlia lovers

We believe that planting more goodness back into the world is a small act that can have a big impact. And dahlias are the perfect pay-it-forward plant!

One tuber will produce multiple blooms until frost. At the end of the season, that same tuber will have produced a clump of tubers, which can be divided and planted next spring for even more blooms! It's like magic.

At one point, all of these varieties were on my wishlist, and I anxiously counted down the seconds for a sale for each one. I still do! I hope I can bring a few of your wishlist dahlias to you :) 

THE DAHLIA TUBER SALE

"I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful tubers. I am new to dahlias this year, and I ordered from several farmers. Your tubers were far and away the best quality! They have been thriving, and I am so thankful to you for bringing beauty to my garden. I am a loyal customer from here on out!"

"If you are blessed enough to get ahold of a few of Petalback’s dahlia tubers, your flowers will be the talk of the town. I purchased 4 varieties last year, and these dahlias were the healthiest and most stunning in my garden. I will certainly be setting my alarm this year to get my order in."

"Maggie is a treasure. Reading her Flower Farmer's Year is like sitting with an old friend and talking about a shared passion....that kind of friend who is doing amazing things and is strongly encouraging and cheering you on to do amazing things too. The information she shares is thorough, up-to-date, honest and easy to understand. I'm thankful to have come across this gem of the flower world. Finally, I appreciate her swift responses to particular questions thrown her way. Feels like a lifeline as most of us are doing this on our own. Looking forward to learning more as the year progresses."

"Petal Back Farm is a literal dream. From the folks who run it, to the presets, to the happy hour, and my all time personal favorite, the dahlia tubers. They are all around wonderful! I always look forward to seeing the beauty, comedy, truth and realness that comes from them. Plus who doesn’t love a damn happy hour?! Maggie’s newsletters are the highlights of my week! If you want to feel like your 5th grade self with the best penpal in the history of penpals then get on that newsletter list and pour yourself a drink. Thank you guys for all the love and soul you put into your farm. From one aspiring flower farmer, y’all are goals. 🫶🏼"

"One of my favorite parts of the growing season is that I know Petal Back is back at it again. For two seasons now I have ordered floral creations and eggs from Maggie. Her arrangements last longer than the expensive arrangements I get from local florists. I look forward to delivery days knowing the gifts of her harvest are through an act of passion and love."

Paula Tomaszewski @CountryRoadsFlowerFarm

"When I open my email and see a message from Petal Back Flowers in my inbox, I know it's going to be a good day. The newsletter is always entertaining..it's like Maggie is my head, writing my thoughts..... to me.... She keeps it real, funny and informative.....oh and her photos are gorg. Which is why I just ordered the Presets from her..... Just follow her.. order from her.... sign up for the newsletter- you won't be disappointed.... Now, how can I get some of her dahlia tubers to Canada?!?"

we're working on it :)

"Petal Back Farm is such a bright little sparkle of light in a not-always-so-light world. Whether it’s learning and loving her newsletter posts or enjoying the cheer she spreads through social media. . . I am so happy to just follow along and cheer her along from afar! Keep growing and keep going please!"

"Your presets are absolutely stunning and VERY user friendly for someone who does not have time to learn any more things. My photos all look more professional, streamlined, and just plain gorgeous. Also I love your newsletter. I think we would be friends in real life. 😁"

me too!

"Petal Back Farm was introduced to me by my SIL and has been such a beautiful addition to my social feed and farm. The tubers we added from you last season arrived perfectly and grew so prolifically. We are so excited to add your Ranunculus to our farm this season as well. Thank you for sharing your creativity and unfiltered self with the world. 🩷🩷"

I have ordered several times from Petalback Farm and always happy with the fast shipping, instructions, and of course the flowers. Highly recommend!!!

"I don’t know you personally but I have always loved following along on your instagram (suchhh beautiful photos!!!!) but recently had the immense joy of snagging some of your dahlia tubers (last year) and loved how beautiful it was packaged and how attentive you were to my questions online (and on DM’s ) :) you have so much going on but you took the time to answer my concerns about the tubers and also answer silly photo questions like “which dahlia is this?” 😅😆 You’re inspiring and amazing. Love following you and hope you keep doing what you’re doing. (Also, the dahlias grew amazingly, not surprisingly)"

"I first found out about Maggie @ Petal Back Farms in 2020 when we both were taking the Floret online classes together that year. When I saw her amazing photography on her Instagram profile, I was blown away! Then when she came out whith her own presets I was SUPER excited and bought them right away! I litterally use Maggie's presets for about 98% of all our photography and it has made an enormous difference in the quality of our photos and has boosted our following and sales as well! Totally worth every penny and more! Blessings Paula 💞"

"Maggie is the best when it comes to bouquets of flowers. They always look stunning and last for weeks! She has the best emails and always brings a smaller and laugh when I read them. Cannot say enough about Petal Back Farms and Maggie!"

 "I recently found Petal Back Farm on Instagram, I LOVE the posts, they are zen inducing. The website to the farm was listed in the bio and so I subscribed to the newsletter. That is when “Wow Factor” happened. Maggie, the owner, emailed me personally to say “Welcome!”. I sent her an email to let her know how much that meant to me, a new grower, trying to learn from someone who is doing it successfully. Again, she sent a personal reply back! Who does this?! She is a wonder and someone who is genuinely interested in helping others succeed! I joined her paid community to learn more and have not been disappointed! The farm newsletters are hilarious too! Well done Petal Back Farm, so excited to be along for the ride!"

"I love your newsletters, the way they are written, the content and especially the pictures. I have purchased your presets which I am in love with and I am a FFY member. Everything you share is inspirational. Thank you." 

Margaret Anderson @willowhill_florals

I just want to start with...you crack me up. I love your emails and they are unlike most flower people I subscribe to. I snort and laugh out loud when reading your stories and the way you put things into words is just not very bland. So, way to go! Oh, another thing. Your Instagram page is also my favorite flower farmer page. Seriously, the prettiest photos EVER. Thanks for brightening up my feed. I bought some dahlia tubers from you last year and added them to my already expensive pile that were all waiting to go into the soil. The one looked a bit iffy and I emailed you about it. To my surprise you sent me another one and for free, no questions, no nothing. It warmed my heart and made me say, this is great customer service! So thanks again. And keep on with the great content!

we always try to make it right!

"Petal Back Farm: simultaneous emanations of structure and elegance, extraction and grace, power and finesse. A place where nature and nurture come together and magic is created."

Maggie and Petal Back Farm are one of my favorite connections I’ve ever made in the flower farming community. Not only does she grow insanely beautiful flowers, she is a wealth of generous information and a ray of sunshine and comedy. Her tubers are top notch and I adore shopping with her every chance I get. I’d follow her for her photography alone but she makes it a no brainer on so many levels. Thanks for being an awesome flower gal, Maggie.

"Website is lovely, selection is wonderful, and thankful for all your hard work to share the endless beauty and intrigue of dahlias with us."

For the past few seasons, I have made the mistake of buying peony roots from Walmart--only to open the bag and the root is completely dead. This year I chose to buy a peony root from Petal Back Farm, and WOW, the root that arrived promptly was beautiful! It had 3 healthy eyes that were ready to be planted. I will definitely be purchasing from them again in the future!

Hi! I recently purchased ranunculus corms and can’t wait to put them in the ground! Shipping was super fast and the packaging is super cute to boot! We recently moved to Illinois from La Crosse so it feels special to have something in my garden from the area! Looking forward to the dahlia tuber sale!! Thanks Maggie and Matt

Leora Tanzer

I love receiving petal back farms newsletters, always makes me smile and feels like I’m reading a message from a friend! I recently ordered a peony root and it came nicely packaged with tons of eyes. It’s already sprouting leaves, only 2ish months after planting! So exciting!!

"I’ve purchased some very happy dahlia tubers from Petal Back Farm!!!"

"Well, first of all, you are funny and that is HUGE in my world. Your photography is incredible and I took advantage of your offer for help with taking photos like you do!!!! And I ask for the Lisianthus guide and it has been a wonderful help. Those little buggers are trying my patience🤣🤣. I know good things come to those who wait but patience is something I struggle with.  You are always helpful. Always funny and kind. Thank you for LOVING FLOWERS✨✨✨

your kind words mean the world to us
