A brilliant video. There was a lot of info but somehow you managed to convey it all without any confusion. I feel like I could confidently split my tubers now. You’re a great teacher and you’ve earned yourself a new subscriber.
This video was incredibly clear and comprehensive. The segment where you highlighted the eyes was my favorite part. I find that aspect of dividing tubers the most difficult. Thanks for making this!
I became a dahlia fan after visiting Monet’s garden outside of Paris. I think this video will be really helpful with saving the dahlias that I planted this spring.
Things I loved about this video: explanation of tools and workspace set up, repeatedly pointing out the parts of the plant, highlighting the eyes, and the toothbrush + sharpie tip! Best video I’ve seen on separating dahlia tubers. THANK YOU! ❤❤❤
Thank you for this video! I was so overwhelmed to divide tubers for the first time but you made it seem doable. I’ve just finished dividing my tubers for the first time and I feel like I’ve done a fairly decent job for a novice!!
Yes, I was going to say one of the best dahlia dividing videos I've watched! Thank you for being so clear and showing easy to hard clumps. I still leave my clumps too big. Now I gotta go watch how you dig and store. We dig, wash, divide, air dry for a couple of days (probably not enough) and store in labeled paper bags. I got mildew the last 2 years, but they grew anyway luckily.
You mentioned that you want to learn more about dahlia winter care, I finally have this video up! Here it is: th-cam.com/video/q27z18ZIlj8/w-d-xo.html Part 2 will go up this weekend, I have a bit of editing to finish up. I hope this helps!
I agree, best video on dividing! The collar part I have never heard explained before and also splitting the stem. Thank so much for sharing your knowledge! 😊
This is an excellent video. Concise, well edited and NO annoying background music!!! I appreciate the more dense tight clusters. I was a bit intimidated by those than the longer floppy tuber ones... I will have more confidence in the spring to divide these... Thanks
Brilliant, very very helpful, very thorough going through all the tools and methods, easy to difficult, and very well edited video, thank you so much from Dublin Ireland 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🙏🏻
I am a newbie l planted my 1st one and love the flowers. I had no idea what to do for it's 1st winter here in New England because some say cut and cover with soil. So happy l watched this video l feel more confident now and will do her easy to follow directions. Wish me luck lol😊
Thank you, glad this video was helpful and best of luck with your first year of storing tubers! I'll have a video regarding winter storage posted soon.
Hello Pamela, I have finally posted a video about dahlia tuber storage. I hope it can be helpful for you and your first winter storing dahlias! Here's that link: th-cam.com/video/9HOQAO-mMpc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the tutorial. I can never get enough of this subject because everyone's method varies. But you were very clear and matter-a-fact with yours. Bravo and Thank you!
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.
I missed dividing the tubers this season, however I successfully divided them up to four inches in height. I had to cut them while still in the ground the lifted them out and transplanted them in other parts of the garden. The weather has been super with spring showers which helped establish them before the summer heat. I love scattering them in sunny parts of the garden. I'm in my seventies and have always been around them, but despite that they never appealed to me. My mum and her generation adored them now I've gone madly in love with them.
I am new to gardening! I purchased some Dahlias last year, I dug them up before winter and stored them in a box with newspaper! I noticed that there are a lot of tubers on the plants, so now after viewing your blog, I now know in how to divide them! Thank you ever so much!!!
Hi Evelyn - Thank you for your lovely clear video which is so well explained !!! You are so professional & meticulous in the whole demonstration. I have watched other videos on propagation & gardening and I must say that some are pathetic. Well done !!! What a great pleasure to watch.
Thank you, Kam! I'm so glad it was helpful. Yes, my next video is coming shortly: I'm focusing on digging and storing next! Any questions you have, or dahlia topics you want to learn more about?
Hi Kam, the next video on digging and storing your dahlias is out. Hope it can be helpful for you, here is that link: th-cam.com/video/9HOQAO-mMpc/w-d-xo.html
Best video I've ever watched about dividing tubers. I especially appreciate that you tackled some of the gnarlier ones, instead of just easy cut and dry clusters!
A really clear and practical detailed explanation vid of dividing dahlias with sub titles. Congratulate yourself, as here in England will be using your education tomorrow. Thanks so much
Dear Evelyn, I am writing from Tuscany in Italy. I have masses of Dahlias as they grow really well here. Thank you for your brilliantly clear tutorial. I will hopefully quadruple my plants next year.
Thank you very much for this thorough video regarding the parts of the Dahlia Tuber. Just fabulous. I received some Dahlias by mail order. They were in awful shape. I would not have known they were not viable if I had seen your video. Thank you again!!!
Great video! I wish you did the last one in real time though. It’s always helpful to watch different clumps get broken down even if it seems repetitive. Thanks!
Hi! Thank you, and thanks for commenting about this. I have good news, I recently made a second dahlia dividing video where I walk through a few more examples in much more detail. If you want to check that out, you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/fBDcHC1kHz4/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps! Thanks again and best luck with your dahlias this year!
This was so helpful - thank you! And it totally made me feel better that some of your tuber pieces just fell off because I was stressing when some of mine did, thinking I must have not been careful enough or something. So seeing that you absolutely know what you are doing, and it happened to you too, helped.
Thanks for commenting! I'm so glad this video was helpful for you! Haha yes I was the same way when I first started: I used to try be as precise as possible (like a dahlia surgeon), but would still lose pieces, so I find there's a speed/accuracy balance for sure. They're such chaotic shapes, it's almost impossible to not lose some! 😂
This is by FAR the best resource I’ve found on this topic. Or any topic ever on all of TH-cam. You show very clearly all the pertinent information and don’t spend time on stuff that doesn’t matter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much.
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.
Absolutely educating. Grew my first one this year. Thought it was a sweet potato. Lol forgot I bought a clearance bag at Walmart in South dakota on vacation. Then it flowered. Wanted to see how to propagate more from it. This was an outstanding find of information. Thanks
@@evelynsgardenandnursery ok I backed into my tub with the dahlua. Upset I broke stem of flower. Bloom liived about a week , and its pod remains and still green. Is there a chance it will have any viable seed in it? Also tried to get clippings from it and snapped stems about 9 inches, I know what a story. Anyway I stuck them in the soil like a cutting. I checked those today they felt like they rooted because they would not let go of the soil. Should I dig them out to pot up individually? I really want to propagate as as I can from this plant. Backing into it with my truck gave it quite the disturbance. In zone 9a just starting to cool off and plant is in a big black plastic tree tub. Should I lift tuber leave tuber for winter? Lift cuttings or leave them. So many questions. Thanks for video
@@philortiz7519 Hello Phil! If your dahlia flower head was pollinated, let it keep going until it dries out, then break it apart to see if there are any seeds. And yes, it sounds like your cuttings may have rooted, pot them up! Hopefully they'll just keep growing. You should lift your dahlia tubers when the plant goes dormant, but only if you want to (i.e. if you want to divide it). In zone 9a, you should be good to leave them in the ground all winter. I have another video in the works that will be about digging and dividing, too, so watch for that for more details! Hope this helps! 💐
Evelyn, thank you! It's been already mentioned (may times 😃) how how incredibly informative and helpful this video was. I greatly appreciated you mentioning that tubers with cuts or critter chomping are still viable if the neck and crown with eyes are still intact. I had removed all my tubers that had the ends cut off, 😕. Glad to know I can keep them.
Thank you so much for your excellent video. It is helping me figure out what to do my second year growing dahlias. They are so beautiful and I love seeing them grown.
This video was very helpful. A neighbor gave a dahlia to a friend of mine, we didn't know what to do with them. I planted them in the ground without cutting all the necks! There were 3 clusters and 2 of them came up , one of them did not make it. Local people say they don't have to be dug up every winter so I left them in the ground, it probably does need to be broken up into smaller sections this spring. I had no idea about being careful for the crown and eye parts. I'm glad I looked at other people doing this instead of trying to merely wing it.
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.
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.
Hi Evelyn. My name is Geoff, I grow dahlias in my garden in Manchester, U.K. My wife and I have been making a video diary throughout 2021 and we are now about to make episode 16, when we will show how we store our tubers for winter. Now, we don’t divide our tubers up into chicken legs in the way that you do, but I understand why your method is a good one, especially for people with limited storage space, and also for sellers in the USA where tubers have to be posted long distances. Would you mind if I talked about your video (which is the best I’ve seen on the subject) in my next video please? I would also put a link in the comments field if that’s okay. Geoff
Hello Geoff, thanks for your kindness. If you want to include me in your video, that'd be great, and I definitely appreciate you sharing a link in your description or comments! Thanks for reaching out, it's a pleasure to meet you and learn about your video diary.
Wow, Geoff in the house! Love all your vids. And this is one of the best videos I've watched in dividing tubers. Thank you @ Evelyn's Garden and nursery - do you sell tubers online btw?
Geoff, I've watched all of your and Heather videos, more than once, okay, more than twice 😁. Interesting how different regions do affect the dividing process. I've not seen any US videos address removing the mother tuber, but see the nessity of it in your neck of the woods 😄. Glad you linked this video.
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
Thanks for this great video. I like how you showed some of the tougher tuber clusters to divide. You are really good at it! I would love to see more about your storage methods. I lost most of my tubers last year because I divided them in the fall and they shrivelled. I'm going to try to keep them intact until the spring this year. I wish I hadn't washed them but I'll see how it goes this winter and I will check on them a few times and maybe mist them if they get too dry. Thanks again for a good video :)
Thank you so much for your kindness! I’m almost done with my next set of videos on digging/storage, I’ve been working hard on them. Sorry to hear you lost most of your dahlias last year, that’s so sad! I hope I can help you be more successful this winter 💕💐
Hello Darcy, I have finally finished a video about storing dahlias. Here it is, I hope it helps you this winter: th-cam.com/video/9HOQAO-mMpc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your video. I learned a lot. Now I realized why the dahlias I was dividing won't grow, I was doing it wrong all along. I can confidently select dahlias now, going to a dahlia tubers sale, very excited.
Thank you so much, your video made alot of sense. I know now how to divide my dahlia Uber clumps and appreciate you taking the time to point out the anatomy before you dived into dividing up. I would love to see a video on how a home gardener without a greenhouse and without a cold frame and with a small house, can pre spout the tubers in the spring in a flat or something in the house before planting out. My typical last frost date is late May.
Fabulous video, thank you! My first year doing dahlias. You definitely sound like you have great experience and understanding and super presentational skills plus you’re a great TH-camr. I’m very happy to subscribe and wish you all the best! 💐🍾❤️
That was a great, informative video, thank you. I would have liked to see how you divided up the big tuber into all the smaller ones but that was put on fast forward so we could not see. I know you showed earlier in the video but would have been good to see lots more examples. I have about 20 very large tuber bunches so need all the help I can get!
Thank you for the feedback! That gives me an idea for another video, maybe just a recording of going through a few more examples... I'm glad the information in this video was helpful for you. Best of luck on those 20 tuber bunches!
Hi jjeffers! I just posted a new dahlia dividing video that shows more examples, including all the details, just as you wished! I go through three examples of dividing big dahlias tubers and tried to show the whole process. Here is the link to that video: th-cam.com/video/fBDcHC1kHz4/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps you! Best wishes! 💐 -Eve
Hi Bertha! I finally have posted this video about storing dahlia tubers in the winter. I hope it is not too late to be helpful for you! Here is that link: th-cam.com/video/9HOQAO-mMpc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this video! It's a lot easier to understand and see the considerations when splitting. I am very interested in your video on storing dahlias, since I noticed you weren't cleaning them all as much as other people seem to. I like that you're more 'this one is damaged but it might grow still' about it, since a lot of other info seems to be 'cut off anything damaged because it might rot'... and I am more okay with living life on the edge and trying out the riskier tubers.
Thank you so much! I'm glad this was helpful. I'm working away on the storage video! Haha, I might be too risky with the dahlias sometimes. I've killed more than a few because of it, but also have learned through trial and error what works and doesn't work. It's been a process! 😂
A brilliant video. There was a lot of info but somehow you managed to convey it all without any confusion. I feel like I could confidently split my tubers now. You’re a great teacher and you’ve earned yourself a new subscriber.
One of the best video’s I’ve seen on splitting dahlias. Well done.. thank you
Thank you so much! 💕Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for making it sound easier than other videos
AGREED!!!!!!
Does each eye = 1 stem?
@@xmo552 I would say yes. And one stem can split off into more.
Brilliant video , thank you. I have watched so many that aren't helpful and left me confused . Yours made perfect sense

I wish I hadn't washed them but I'll see how it goes this winter and I will check on them a few times and maybe mist them if they get too dry. Thanks again for a good video :)
Thank you so much for your kindness! I’m almost done with my next set of videos on digging/storage, I’ve been working hard on them. Sorry to hear you lost most of your dahlias last year, that’s so sad! I hope I can help you be more successful this winter 💕💐
Hello Darcy, I have finally finished a video about storing dahlias. Here it is, I hope it helps you this winter: th-cam.com/video/9HOQAO-mMpc/w-d-xo.html

So this is the first time I've ever tried to save Dahlia tubers. I'm thinking it would be a lot easier if I just hired you to do it, LOL
excellent tutorial, I learned so much, best video tutorial I've seen yet. thank you.
Thank you! This is just brilliant and an excellent instructional video.
Nice video.
Great way to demonstrate dahlia tuber separation.
Thank you, so very clear and informative. I now have the confidence to do some of mine tomorrow.
Thank you! So glad I could help! 💐💕
very awesome dahlia video. thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much! So glad it was helpful! 💐
Well done video. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your video. I learned a lot. Now I realized why the dahlias I was dividing won't grow, I was doing it wrong all along. I can confidently select dahlias now, going to a dahlia tubers sale, very excited.
I'm so glad I found this before I started separating my tubers. I would have done it all wrong and lost most if not all of my dahlias.
Amazing video and extremely helpful, thank you!
Thank you, so glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much, your video made alot of sense. I know now how to divide my dahlia Uber clumps and appreciate you taking the time to point out the anatomy before you dived into dividing up. I would love to see a video on how a home gardener without a greenhouse and without a cold frame and with a small house, can pre spout the tubers in the spring in a flat or something in the house before planting out. My typical last frost date is late May.
Scientific,informative and detailed explanation. Excellent.
Thank you! Glad if I can help!
This was a great video on splitting tubers! I finally get it!
This was such a good video to explain how it's done!
Excellent and very helpful video❤️👍👍 Wish you good luck with your flowers this year.
Very nice presentation.. The visual is so good especially to a beginner like me.
Kia Ora & Good Evening from Unsworth Heights, North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand ... Another Great Video Bro.
Fabulous video, thank you! My first year doing dahlias. You definitely sound like you have great experience and understanding and super presentational skills plus you’re a great TH-camr. I’m very happy to subscribe and wish you all the best! 💐🍾❤️
Very good lesson. I’m a beginner on dalias. All these information comes very handy. Thank you
Thank you so much, I'm so glad it was helpful!
Brilliant vid, the best I've seen on splitting, so I will be sharing!!
That was a great, informative video, thank you. I would have liked to see how you divided up the big tuber into all the smaller ones but that was put on fast forward so we could not see. I know you showed earlier in the video but would have been good to see lots more examples. I have about 20 very large tuber bunches so need all the help I can get!
Thank you for the feedback! That gives me an idea for another video, maybe just a recording of going through a few more examples... I'm glad the information in this video was helpful for you. Best of luck on those 20 tuber bunches!
Hi jjeffers! I just posted a new dahlia dividing video that shows more examples, including all the details, just as you wished! I go through three examples of dividing big dahlias tubers and tried to show the whole process.
Here is the link to that video: th-cam.com/video/fBDcHC1kHz4/w-d-xo.html
I hope it helps you! Best wishes! 💐 -Eve
Thankyou so much, brilliant video, informative and through the best I have seen.
LOVE the sharpie trick, I wish I had known about that when spliting my peonies this fall.
Hi i love your video very nice information. How you storage the tubers during winter?
Hi Bertha! I'm so glad you like this video. I'm making a video about digging/storing tubers next! Do you have any specific questions I can answer?
Hi Bertha! I finally have posted this video about storing dahlia tubers in the winter. I hope it is not too late to be helpful for you! Here is that link: th-cam.com/video/9HOQAO-mMpc/w-d-xo.html
Excellent explaining and videoing! I learned very useful information!! THANK YOU!
Thank you, so glad it was helpful for you!!
That was brilliant and your dogs are lovely🇬🇧
So glad I found this video and subscribed to your channel. It’s very informative.
Thanks for this video! It's a lot easier to understand and see the considerations when splitting. I am very interested in your video on storing dahlias, since I noticed you weren't cleaning them all as much as other people seem to.
I like that you're more 'this one is damaged but it might grow still' about it, since a lot of other info seems to be 'cut off anything damaged because it might rot'... and I am more okay with living life on the edge and trying out the riskier tubers.
Thank you so much! I'm glad this was helpful. I'm working away on the storage video! Haha, I might be too risky with the dahlias sometimes. I've killed more than a few because of it, but also have learned through trial and error what works and doesn't work. It's been a process! 😂
Hello Amorette, I finally have a video about storing dahlias up. I hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/9HOQAO-mMpc/w-d-xo.html
What an outstanding instructional video!
Thank you! Very easy and clear directions!
Well explained. 🙏
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful!
