Vinyl Dahlia Tags

These vinyl tags with wire ties are an essential part of tuber production on our farm. They're how we keep hundreds of dahlia varieties straight from planting to digging, and they'll do the same in your garden.

How we use them

• Write the variety name on the tag with a permanent marker.
• Attach it to the tuber by passing the wire through the tuber or wrapping it around the neck. A wire passed through the tuber won't harm it, because the tuber heals around the wire.
• Plant the tuber with the tag on. The tag stays below ground all season, so it can't blow away, fade or get knocked off.
• Dig in the fall and every clump comes up already labelled, ready to divide and store.

Frequently asked questions

How do you label dahlia tubers so they don't get mixed up?
Attach a vinyl tag with a wire tie directly to each tuber before planting. Because the tag stays on the tuber underground, the variety name is still there when you dig in the fall.

Will the wire damage the dahlia tuber?
No. A wire passed through the tuber does not hurt it. The tuber heals around the wire.

What do I write on the tags with?
A permanent marker. It stays readable all season underground.

When will my tags ship?
Vinyl Dahlia Tags are presale only and ship in spring 2027.
