| Maintenance | Dahlias form tubers and these tubers can be stored for replanting in the spring. To dig and store tubers follow these directions. First, allow frost to kill the top of the plant then cut back the stems and dig the tubers. Wash off any soil and then allow the tubers to dry. Wrap dry tubers in newspapers or pack them in peat moss. Label each tuber or group of tubers so you know what they are come spring. Store tubers in a dark, cool (35 to 45 F) place. Do not allow tubers to freeze (Source: Proven Winners Web Site) |

| Author's Notes | I have found that overwintering the tubers of seed grown Dahlias can be a little more difficult than from a vegetative type. The seed grown Dahlias are usually produced the season that they are purchased. This doesn't give them a chance to develop large rhizomes. When over wintering they will need to be checked more often because they dry out quicker. |
