Great videos, thankyou.

That's exactly my tool kit for most things in my garden. I am lost without my hori hori ! Thanks for posting a very helpful clear video.

why divide dahlia tubers at all? Won't they make bigger plants if not divided?

Great video, so helpful! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge . Only one comment, it was difficult to see what criteria you were using to divide the tubers.

Excellent video and very well explained I just bought some tubers Each is a separate tuber. Wish me luck. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Will b planting them soon. Hailing from Zimbabwe

Great video!

I got some dahlia tubers this past spring and threw them in the end of my tomato beds. Wow, no tomatos but the dahlia blooms are up to are 8 inches across, and gorgeous deep reddish purple color. They are mop headed, and don’t absorb water to stay hydrated so well once they are cut and in a vase. Not sure what that means! In mid October the flowers are going strong. I need to know everything!

Apparently you can eat them

Wonderful video! Thank you for the detailed explanation :)

I am 73 but not an experienced gardener. We have brought in our geraniums for years but I never had dahlias, this spring I planted them but the deer loved them. I would wait for the bud to bloom only to find it eaten. I finally got a product to "discourage" the deer, but too late for any blooms. If I dig them up and bring them in as house plants, should I cut the stems down?

Very helpful. Could you tell me the needle nose snips brand? Difficult to find ones that are strong enough to divide dahlias

Hi ! I have just watched some of your Dahlia videos. I live in Northern Ireland and planted dahlias in containers but they didn’t flower 😢 well I had a few very tiny flowers. Any advice? We did have a very wet and sunless summer!!(typical Irish weather!😂) Grateful for your expert advice

Lovely and very comprehensive information Evelyn! Thank you very much from Northern Ireland!

Thanks Eve!

Thanks Eve!

Love your videos! very helpful. Butm, made me really nervous to see your dogs sniffing at them. I raise goldens. tubers are toxic and Ive had to dose 3x ,one that ate part of a tuber, please be careful and maybe warn people. not near dogs, e tc,

I literally just subscribed to your channel, It was easy to follow your advise. I am a new Dahlia grower and look forward to watching more of your videos and learning how to become a seasoned Dahlia grower.

Thank you, i have learned soo much. Im a first time Dahlia grower and ive had a great show this year. Im going to store my tubers for next year, now i know what to do with them.😁

What do you do with dahlia tubers that do not have an eye? Can they be planted and will they grow more tubers with eyes?

What a terrific video. So informative. Thank you

Informative, well presented and great value.

Home dahlia gardener watching from NZ. Love Love Love watching your videos. They are nice and slow so everything is very clear. Thank you.

The best dahlia dividing video out there. Thank you ❤

Just super !!!

Very clear and such a great help. I’m no longer uncertain and afraid I’ll do the wrong thing!

Show mare and stallion mati ng

you're a natural teacher!! Very well done thank you!

The most helpful, easy to understand and follow video I've watched. Thank you.

This was such a good video to explain how it's done!

Hi Evelyn, can i keep dahlia tubers out of the ground if purchased too late for planting, or will they wither & die. great channel what i've seen so far, Thanks Rob

Brilliant vid, the best I've seen on splitting, so I will be sharing!!

Thanks for the great video Should I pull the clusters every year from the ground or just leave them alone for next year??? How long they have to take be chilled at what temperature to be ready for growing??? And how to keep them, not to go completely dry and dead, keep in dark place??? Thanks

Glad to hear how you store your dahlias because I stored mine in an open box in my garage 2023-2024 and they all survived! In the past I have tried storing the tubers wrapped in newspaper and placed in a closed container and not many survived. I live on the coast of MA. Maybe we just had a mild winter. But I'll store them like you again. I tuned in to learn how to divide dahlia tubers and got a great education! Thank you

Thank you ❤

Does the clumps get eaten by moles?

Help - Complete novice with Dahlias. Thank you for your videos. Can i rescue an enormous root of Crazy Love that has already starting shooting but has been munched my slugs before I noticed. At first I had no idea what was growing in the pot. I couldn't recognise the leaves as they had been eaten down. I removed the whole thing from the pot and hosed it down to clean it. Am I too late to rescue it? Add to this the fact that after looking back on my blog I see that I had put two varieties in the same pot the other being ponpom Snowflake. Maybe the Crazy Love overpowered the smaller one. I remember that this Crazy Love did throw up a massive flower last year after nothing the previous year.

One of the best videos for this. Lesson learned even though I washed them off in the fall, wash them off much more cause its spring and the stem bases have nice hard pkugs of earth yay.

Can you do anything with the tubers with a neck, but NO part of the crown/collar and therefore no eyes? Like they won’t “grow” a crown, correct? Is only option to compost/throw away? GREAT video. So helpful for someone taking on Dahlia’s for the first time!!!

THANK YOU. I bought a mixed bag with 2 dahlia tubers in it. I didn't even know you couldn't leave them in the ground all winter. I have a lot to learn.

Very useful if long but that's your preference 😅 Thanks

Thank you! I am planning to grow my dahlias in containers. I thought that adding biochar would be good to improve water (and nutrient) holding capacity of the soil. Have you ever tried that? Greetings from Finland!

Most excellent video Evelyn, thank you!

Kia Ora & Good Evening from Unsworth Heights, North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand ... Another Great Video Bro.

I wish I had watched this earlier! Just re-planted mine and a couple of the clumps are huge. I will try and be braver next year. Thanks for an excellent video.

hehe, your dogs are all eager audiences. Thank you for sharing. I am interested in Dahlia but the bigger ones need more care and I am taking my time to think where to put them.

How do you take dahlia tubers out of winter storage and get them ready to plant?
