available for pre-order winter 2026 | grown in the dandenong ranges |
rooted in the seasons
Our bearded iris and dahlia collections are grown by hand in the Dandenong Ranges, where soil and season shape every petal.
Each plant carries the quiet artistry of the farm – a living piece of Thistle & Weeds to bring into your own garden.
From our beds to yours: a slow kind of beauty, meant to last.

We generally hold a pre-sale in late winter, followed by a spring release once our own collection is planted and we know what’s left to share. Availability is always limited, as we only offer what we grow ourselves. Subscribers to our mailing list will be the first to know when sales open.
Unfortunately, due to recently introduced biosecurity restrictions for Tomato-Potato Psyllid (TPP), we are currently only able to ship within Victoria.
Dahlias thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Plant the tuber horizontally about 10–15cm deep once the risk of frost has passed. Water lightly until shoots appear, then regularly through summer. Pinch early growth to encourage branching, feed with a balanced fertiliser, and cut often - the more you pick, the more they bloom!
We only send out healthy, viable tubers with developed eyes or visible shoots - usually from late October onwards, once growth has begun. Each one is inspected and packed by hand to ensure it’s ready to thrive once planted.
We take great care to ensure every tuber arrives healthy and true to variety. If you notice any damage or concerns upon arrival, please get in touch within 48 hours of receiving your order so we can make it right.
