Storing dahlias correctly

Since dahlias originate from sun-drenched Mexico, the tubers are very sensitive to frost and should be stored during the winter. They can only survive outdoors in extremely mild winters in very sheltered locations. If they are exposed to frost, they will not survive the winter. Mid-November is usually the ideal time to dig the tubers out of the ground. Then they will reward us again next year with particularly long-lasting, lush, and beautiful blooms.

  • Now's the time to label the flowers with small tags, noting the variety, flower color, and height. This way, you can quickly decide next year which plants will best be placed together and which ones might be planted in the back row due to their taller growth.
  • Wait until the dahlia foliage wilts before digging them up. Before digging, cut all the stems a hand's breadth above the ground once all the flowers have faded.
  • Then, in dry weather, carefully dig up the tubers with a spade or digging fork and gently tap off any loose soil. Leave some extra soil around the tubers to prevent them from drying out.
