Several times I've stored dahlias over in pots, my winters are very long that they're stored for five months. I maintain them just a few degrees above freezing to about 50 F and water them sparingly just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.

[@InDougsGarden]

Is it the same pots they grow in during the season? Just wondering, everyone does the job a little differently. Thanks for watching!

@@InDougsGarden I've mostly grown compact dahlias in pots to set upon my back deck, these pots are placed in my cold storage room for the winter along with the potatoes and root veggies. Frost has now arrived here and today shall dig the dahlias, always am a bit nervous lifting each and every one in the hopes it has not acquired leafy gall, cause yes, it's a disease that already exists in the soil and any such diseased tubers need to be discarded. I guess, it also can be easily transmitted through tools, so extra caution should be taken even when using pruners or a spade from one plant to another. I don't have a large number of varieties and prefer to stick to shorter growers to avoid the need for staking, I've gone through my years of staking tons of plants and now prefer a bit less maintenance because there's just so much to do on this large acreage!

@@TRguy64 That's a great way to do the job.

Wow! We love dahlias but they require so much work for us to dig up and store here in Zone 5. We have tried a few times but we just don’t have enough space or the right conditions indoors to keep them throughout the winter. Wish we could do this though because they are very beautiful.

[@InDougsGarden]

Maybe try a few next year in those fabric pots. There's nothing wrong though in growing dahlias just for the season and letting them freeze at the end of the year. You can still enjoy the beauty of the flower.

Thanks for watching from Peru!

[@DalhiaSun]

Would you please share where you get yours?

[@InDougsGarden]

Swan Island, Broad River Blooms, Breck's and Old House Dahlias are some of the catalogs.

[@taribaadenails9852]

Thank you for the video and your time. I have a question about the size of the bags. I am going to plant my first Dahlias in 2025 and I am looking for all the information and you do not have a garden. You have a paradise, simply beautiful.

I would recommend 15 gallon fabric pots. I like Root Pouch which are made from recycled water bottles. They are inexpensive and built to last. Here's a link- bit.ly/489DlJi
