What customers say
Customer feedback for the Emory Paul Dinner Plate Dahlia is sharply divided, focusing almost entirely on tuber viability. When successful, gardeners celebrate the blooms as massive, vibrant, and truly show stopping, awarding five stars for the plant's unique beauty. Conversely, many customers report significant disappointment due to receiving tubers that were moldy, dried out, or failed to sprout entirely. This inconsistency in initial quality, especially given the specialty price, creates a polarized review profile. The core issue centers on the health and reliability of the tubers upon arrival, directly impacting the overall customer experience and perceived value.
