I'm a beginning Dahlia grower although I grew them as a child from seed. I just went out to my garden that I had planted my Dahlias in and had worked SOOO hard...
My thoughts: The tubers that have not pushed up through the soil; carefully dig them up and let them dry in the sun. If they have buds or roots, they should be...
What part of the world are you in??? A dahlia clump planted with rot in some part can readily spread to the rest especially in wet conditions. Normally,...
I live in Hampton Virginia. The tubers are single with one eye not clumps Should I still remove the damaged part of these tubers and the rot. It HAS been...
I'm not an expert on this but if the part is really rotten then cut it off; if its just wet, dry it and replant. I think some people may put something on the...
Thanks for writing back. I so hope to save these at least some of them. I've been dreaming of these all season. You confirmed for me that my gut impulse was...
One more thing; if the tubers have eyes/buds, then they should grow. I have planted tubers with no eyes and they grew roots, which, I understand is where the...

Hi Becky, I fight an annual "too soggy spring climate" here in wet Western WA as well. Over the years, I find if a particular tuber is very slow or starts out...
Gordie rarely plants out a tuber unless it has roots and a start of a sprout. With Western Washington spring weather tubers have a tendency to rot. In late...
Raised beds are good for drainage problems. If it is too much rain only then a raised bed under a rain shelter that might help, assuming we are not talking...
Once you have seen a normal dahlia clump lifted in the Fall, you can then visualize the size of a pot needed in Spring to grow a Dahlia ..... Occasionally,...
Billy Matthews said: It was definitely moist here this Spring too, but not as bad as the American North-East. I have oriental poppies blooming as my...

Our oldest daughter will be a senior in high school and so we are going through that rite of passage: visiting potential colleges. Some of you probably...
Not quite like a potato. The eyes are only on the portion of the tuber where it connects to the stem. Sometimes this is easy to see and sometimes hard,...
And if I may add something to that, I generally cut long tubers shorter anyway. sometimes a really huge tuber gets "lazy" and takes too long to establish...
I dug up a tuber yesterday because the plant was wilted. I discovered that the entire tuber was rotted, with no roots. I planted it about the end of May....

A clump divides into individual tubers. Each tuber has the potential of an eye.......... to produce a new plant. When a tuber is too long to fit in a pot,...
