Maxwelton's Valley Blooms

11/10/2026

🌸 Update 🌸

I am not currently taking any new orders and are just finishing preorders.

Once I have made my way through this lot, plus more stored in other places 😅
I will make up boxes of what I have available.

Planting here often is not completed until mid November 🙂

🌸 MWs Sucker Punch is patiently waiting to be planted out 😅
She is all caged up to stop a very annoying and loud rooster from getting in and digging around in her pot 🙄
Some other Maxwelton’s are hanging out to be in the ground too
We usually get a late and often fatal frost at the end of October so we are waiting a bit longer 🙂

🌸 On my first day of my mini 5 day break I managed to put my phone down for a bit and we put up the first of the isolation houses.

Pic 2: Some of the ‘new’ to the property dahlias potted up and put in their new home for the season 😃
Each pot will be covered in their own insect mesh as well.
It’s impossible for any living thing to be free from viruses, 🦠 but we can try our best to keep the damaging and bloom reducing ones away for as long as possible 🙂 And another way to prevent Gall from coming back into the gardens too.
Some insects are vectors for spreading virus and Gall at rapid speed 🙄 so we hope that these isolation homes will help 🙂

Craig’s got his spuds 🥔 in their pots too so they are around the outside of the house

Today I will add some old horse 💩 and fish compost to some of the gardens around the house, and I will also attempt to answer my private messenger messages and get through all of the emails 😅🌸

Have a great day everyone 😃🌸

🌸 Update 🌸

Note: dahlias in pics are not available this year 🙂

Hi all
I am just packing the last few tuber orders so once completed I will know what tubers I have left.
I will post on here for everyone once I know 🙂

I will likely supply as 5 & 10 packs of tubers which will be a mix of Maxwelton’s and a few others.
Some will have names on and some won’t.
They will all be $10.00 per tuber.
All the best of the best Maxwelton’s have sold out for this year, but you can send through your Wishlist via email only 🙂

Please note, all ordering and other enquires are strictly via email only and not via messenger or text or our private email so please use
[email protected] ☺️
Due to the high volume of requests and enquires, I might not get back to you straight away 🙂

I am taking the next week off so I will be on and off of social media sporadically 😃
There are a tonne of gardens to prepare here before planting so I can see myself enjoying some time with my hands in the dirt 😅

Hi Everyone

Cath has kindly given me (Becky) permission to jump on her page, and chat about The Demure.

You may have seen The Demure recently added as the profile photo here on the Maxwelton page. I noticed there were lots of comments, so here's some more info.

This gal is now coming into her 3rd year, and has a bit of an exciting future lined up. Cath might share more on this as plans progress.

While she hasn't had her glamor pics done yet, we had enough tubers to offer one for sale this year. She is offered on Trademe now, if anyone is interested 💜.

Because this particular seedling grew her 1st ever roots with me in the Waikato, this one is part of my virus testing program.

This gal will stop you in your tracks. The colour is simply dreamy. We cant wait to bring you more photos, and eventually more tubers!
