I planted dahlias from seed this year and collected over 100 tubers. I gave many to friends and still have more than I can use.
This was REALLY helpful - clear and to the point! Thank you!
Not only was the video clear and its content very helpful, I appreciated the timing, the on-screen captions and the presenter's voice volume and quality. A+ and thanks.
I have looked at a lot of videos about this....this one is the best by far
Wish I had watched this before I dug up my dahlias! I need to check whether I have any "eyes" evident on the tubers. Didn't realise this was necessary.
my dinner plate dahlia plant SNAPPED in a hard windstorm. it was in a raised bed and grew much larger than I thought. i had to prop it up with an old stepstool. my neighbor could see if from her porch and loved the sight of it. no matter who I shared the flowers with, it never failed to evoke a "wooooow!" response.
I use bamboo sticks to keep mine up ✌
I'm gonna try this storage method this year. Wish me luck!
What's the update?
Good information! Especially showing the eyes!
Thanks for the lesson, now at least I know what I was doing wrong. Ah well as my a countryman of mine once put it...
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
Probably the best plant instructional video I've seen very helpful, great idea with the bulb bags i think i may use fruit bags for this thanks!
indeed this video is amazing! The lady is so helpful!
Ive watched several videos on this topic and this is by far the best one. Its clear and concise and very easy to follow. I subscribed and cant wait to see more of your videos! Thanks!
Thank you. Excellent presentation. Informative without extraneous banter.
Fantastic video - best I’ve seen by far,
Thank you very much for the clear explanation. Can you give information for replanting the tubers ?
Most informative video I’ve seen yet, thank you!🙏
Very well said. I understood her and she spoke very well. Thanks for the info.
Best video on the subject---quick and covers it all. So many others only focus on one stage of winterizing
Thank you so much!
Mary
I am montagnard indigenous I love dahlias flowers thanks for information.
A wonderful presentation which is easy to follow and uses common materials ,This answered my overwintering questions for our New Zealand climate and allows multiplying ideas,Thankyou Barb
Thank you so much for that wonderful information.
Great tip to keep the label, I've mixed up so many plants from not doing this. Thank you!
Best video I have seen on this topic!
Great info & the video leaves NO doubts
Oh my! I have been drying mine and throwing them in a 5 gal pail in the basement! They do come back each year. I will do it the right way next fall!
Very great video. We learn. Thank you so much.
Very helpful. Thank you
love the tips that was great I planted dahlias in my garden this year for the first time
Thanks for msg. 1st planting last spring.
I just planted them for the first time this year!! They gave me such pleasure!!
This is a great video. It's worth amending the video tip about the tuber without a stem. Instead of discarding it, take it to the kitchen. Dahlia's are edible and the tubers can be cooked and eaten similar to a potato.
GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!
I will be googling this!!!!!
Edible!!!!💜💜💜💜
Def best vid I've seen
Nicely explained. Thank you
Oh ! Grocery bags are usually PAPER in the USA and I can see that is what you have used. So ! I am just pointing this out as many countries, like England use plastic bags for groceries ( paper bags are very rare here) Do Not Use plastic shopping / Grocery bags 🇬🇧 Great video , thanks
Equally you'd probably want to avoid storing them at 40-50c 😉
Did this last fall (except left them on my not very bright table top, and soaked them twice over the winter) and now have many sprouts. Just planted them in the ground! Thank you!
What do you mean you, 'soaked', them?
Great video! Thanks for all the options!
outstanding
I keep the tubers under the ground, by covering them a thick tree branches and leave.
But this video reminds me one thing: the tuber needs to be divided to grow more flowers.
Maybe it is the reason I get less flowers this year.
And Old Biker gave me a handfull of these mid summer. Its about time to dig and store them now. No Black Dahlias Mike!!, 67 Electra-Glide runs good!
pretty clear alright even to me
Great information and presentation. Thank you very much. Now I understand why one of pretty fat tuber didn't produce leaves nor flowers. I planted it along with other tubers but...nothing happened! Well... it didn't have an eye or any roots but it looked soooo healthy, I didn't have a heart to "throw it away". It still does look fat and healthy but...it's going to compost bin. Who knew!?
Great information. I have two Dahlias, maybe 4 after I pull them from pot. Squirrels took my 3rd one before it ever got started. 🤐🤗
An excellent video!
Excellent video. Thanks
Wow
Thanks for the Brilliant advice :) Great video - Thank you
안녕하세요
다알리아에 구근 관리방법 감사합니다
Love this!!!
🌸🌱🌸THANKS🌸🌱🌸
Amazing tutorial! So helpful. Thank you❤️
I have a question that I can't find the answer to anywhere! I dug up my tubers for their winterrest one week ago (I live in a cold climate so we're getting frost any day now) and when I checked on them today one of them had started to produce new shoots. What do I do now?? Let it shoot in the winter enviroment? Remove the shoot? Put the dahlia outside for a few days so it understands that winter is coming? Or give up on overwintering it?
Whatever ended up happening?????
@@Lyddiebits I removed the shoots and put them in a colder enviroment. The problem was that it was a higher humidity in that enviroment so they ended up rotting 😔 Trying again this year! 💪
Hi. I just planted some dahlias today that I bought from Home Depot. However, one of the tuber clumps seems to have every section of it’s root broken, though they are still attached. Will that tuber make it or is it dead? I planted it along with my other more healthy looking tubers.
Mam this is rainy season in India.i got five colours in this type.can I put I my garden mam
What happens if you leave it in the ground over winter?
Can you store the tubers in soil
🇬🇧 The (USA) grocery bags are brown PAPER it should be noted .....we very rarely get those in England so newspapers or brown wrapping paper should be used.
It would be interesting to see what white flower farm really looks like. Y’all are super duper expensive.
oops, I should've watched your video before frantically digging up today. lol
Same here
I bought a commercial packaged tuber. I'm seeing I should store the bundle and plant in the spring? Is this correct? They're grown as perennials here in our neck of Germany. It looks like most to all people just leave hem in the ground over winter. Hard, long frosts are rare here in in North Rhine-Westphalia.
I wasn’t clearly seeing if she used any of the media she pointed to?
Where do I get tubers?
Такой полезный ролик! Эх, только хотя бы краткий перевод на русский язык!
sorry, can I order Dahlia seeds or bulbs here?? and can delivery to Indonesia??
How to plant dahlias
I'm a little late on this but, what about small potted ones? I brought the pot indoor a month ago. Do I just leave them in soil indoors through winter? Or do I dig them out and store? Thsnks..
Yes
I live in growing zone 9b. We don’t generally “freeze” in this area, do I still need to dig and overwinter in my area?
I've never dug mine up, I just cover the crown with quite a bit of soil to protect it.
I'm 6b, I leave 2 large dinner plate style in the ground and pop out the smaller ones
@@vallee3140 am looking for this reply so long.. thanks
no, not at all. You would leave yours in the ground, but may need to split them to get more flowers. I live in a zone 3 and I certainly would need to dig them up.

Let's avoid plastic wrap.
Can dahlia be planted year after year in the same area?
Hi Guadalupe, yes, technically Dahlias can be planted in the same area year after year, but it's an invitation for leaf hoppers so we wouldn't recommend it.
Put in countless Dahlias and all fail,slugs and snails love them, yes need 1hr each night and a torch as slight pellets dont work!!!!
Mix a teaspoon of DAWN dishwashing liquid and 500 mL of water and spray it on the leaves and stems every few days, or at least after the rain.
Which is better younfeel? Saran Wrap for I to some peat?
What place gets down to 50 degrees but doesn't freeze? We just have an outdoor shed or the house, nothing else. What can you do in this case?
she is obviously talking about 50F, which is only 10C, nice and cool but above the freezing point of 0C.
We heat our garage in the winter at 50 degrees. Not sure if that’s an option for you.?
We have a small shed that's attached to the house (one shed wall is the exterior wall of the house). It's perfect, 40-50F and 70%RE. The house keeps it above freezing.
When dividing the plants, should there only be one eye on each piece or is it okay to have two or more eyes on the same piece if it's difficult to the divide the stem into many pieces?
I'd have thought it would be absolutely fine - you'll just get two shoots (or more) from that piece rather than just one.
What do you do if your stored tubers start sporting and have shoots but it's still to cold to put outside.
Robert, I keep mine potted in the basement for the winter, dormant. Some have started to sprout and send up shoots. I water them a little and at some point will just prune back to have a bushier plant. Those that haven't sent up any growth, later this month I will take out of the pots, take any division I want, or not, let those heal and re-pot in smaller containers to "wake them up". Then, when the frosts have passed, I will pot outside in large pots for the season. I am in Minneapolis zone 5/4.
@@othonnag so you always keep your dahlias in pots?
✌️✌️😍😍😻😻💝💝🙏🙏
you can actually eat dahlias, you can cook em like they were potatoes...
like eating string.
String cheese
TOOBER ?
