General Dahlia Tuber Care
Storage
Keep between 45-55 degrees F
Do not let freeze or they turn to mush
If temps go above 55 degrees they may start to sprout, which is OK
Keep in the bag with the top open & shavings covering tubers
If you keep the bag closed, look out for condensation
If condensation appears, open the bag
Growing
Plant out mid to late May
6” deep, tubers 1ft apart
Pinch once 6” tall for more blooms
Digging in Fall
After the first killing frost, you can dig up your tubers for storage
Cut down stalk to 6”, & use a fork, making a 1ft radius around the base
Gently loosen soil around tubers, freeing any soil at the crown
You do not need to wash tubers - they tend to keep better when unwashed
Can store as a clump in a cardboard box with pine shavings
