The "Québec-Dahlia":
The "Quebec-Dahlia" is the Society's bulletin that gives

tuber sale; general information on the coming events; tips and tricks, etc.
(in French only).
Where do our dahlias come
from?
Most of our dahlias cannot be found in gardening centers. They are hybrids
that have repeatedly won at major shows. They come from growers from all over
the world: England, France, New Zealand, United States, etc. We also
offer some exclusive hybrids from local growers.
For our members, these dahlias usually cost 4.00$ and for the non member 6.00$ per tuber, which is much
cheaper than "commercial" varieties found in nurseries. Our members can choose from
hundreds of rare and beautiful hybrids.
The Quebec Dahlia Society is an affiliated member of:
- la Fédération
des Sociétés d'horticulture et d'Écologie du Québec
- the American Dahlia
Society
