How to Divide and Overwinter Dahlias in Cold Climates

[@kellykurt8339]

I planted dahlias from seed this year and collected over 100 tubers. I gave many to friends and still have more than I can use.

[@oceangal313]

Thank you for a quick and informative video! You made this process so easy. I scrolled past other videos that were 15 minutes long and I'm like what the heck! Shouldn't take that long to learn how to do it. You proved it doesn't. Thank you so much!

[@RobertKZhan]

Not only was the video clear and its content very helpful, I appreciated the timing, the on-screen captions and the presenter's voice volume and quality. A+ and thanks.

[@rebeccazookmagicalcelloadv6197]

This was REALLY helpful - clear and to the point! Thank you!

[@AnimeShinigami13]

my dinner plate dahlia plant SNAPPED in a hard windstorm. it was in a raised bed and grew much larger than I thought. i had to prop it up with an old stepstool. my neighbor could see if from her porch and loved the sight of it. no matter who I shared the flowers with, it never failed to evoke a "wooooow!" response.

[@kahuna7433]

I use bamboo sticks to keep mine up ✌

[@fionasheppard3870]

Wish I had watched this before I dug up my dahlias! I need to check whether I have any "eyes" evident on the tubers. Didn't realise this was necessary.

[@loistubbs1902]

I have looked at a lot of videos about this....this one is the best by far

[@amyspooner6705]

Ive watched several videos on this topic and this is by far the best one. Its clear and concise and very easy to follow. I subscribed and cant wait to see more of your videos! Thanks!

[@krishnainavolu2580]

Thank you very much for the clear explanation. Can you give information for replanting the tubers ?

[@shirleystrange7444]

Thank you. Excellent presentation. Informative without extraneous banter.

[@alexjoshithegamer973]

Good information! Especially showing the eyes!

[@chrislarcovic1554]

I'm gonna try this storage method this year. Wish me luck!

[@neno2578]

What's the update?

[@betteherring5638]

Very well said. I understood her and she spoke very well. Thanks for the info.

[@murrayselwyn2007]

A wonderful presentation which is easy to follow and uses common materials ,This answered my overwintering questions for our New Zealand climate and allows multiplying ideas,Thankyou Barb

[@sugarbomb26]

Best video I have seen on this topic!

[@R1chardH]

Probably the best plant instructional video I've seen very helpful, great idea with the bulb bags i think i may use fruit bags for this thanks!

[@alianajacobs5703]

indeed this video is amazing! The lady is so helpful!

[@PasqualePG]

Fantastic video - best I’ve seen by far,

[@Benmartin2113]

Best video on the subject---quick and covers it all. So many others only focus on one stage of winterizing

[@WhiteFlowerFarm]

Thank you so much! Mary

[@annaikonocampbell]

Did this last fall (except left them on my not very bright table top, and soaked them twice over the winter) and now have many sprouts. Just planted them in the ground! Thank you!

[@mollyv8b705]

What do you mean you, 'soaked', them?

[@errolsavage9897]

Most informative video I’ve seen yet, thank you!🙏

[@4parsnips976]

This is a great video. It's worth amending the video tip about the tuber without a stem. Instead of discarding it, take it to the kitchen. Dahlia's are edible and the tubers can be cooked and eaten similar to a potato.

[@Lyddiebits]

GET OUT OF HERE!!!!! I will be googling this!!!!! Edible!!!!💜💜💜💜

[@Gotsomethingtosaynow]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@pattiharper5029]

Great info & the video leaves NO doubts

[@PetalsonthePavingSlabs]

Great tip to keep the label, I've mixed up so many plants from not doing this. Thank you!

[@Aangel452]

Thank you so much for that wonderful information.

[@shaeshae9831]

love the tips that was great I planted dahlias in my garden this year for the first time

[@buddyplatt2631]

Thanks for msg. 1st planting last spring.

[@missava66]

I just planted them for the first time this year!! They gave me such pleasure!!

[@baylaschauer3122]

Oh my! I have been drying mine and throwing them in a 5 gal pail in the basement! They do come back each year. I will do it the right way next fall!

[@mominthe209]

Thank you for the video. It was very helpful.

[@ikm64]

Thanks for the lesson, now at least I know what I was doing wrong. Ah well as my a countryman of mine once put it... "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

[@joylovoy]

Great video! Thanks for all the options!

[@susieaxym]

Def best vid I've seen

[@jacobeksor6088]

I am montagnard indigenous I love dahlias flowers thanks for information.

[@incanada83]

Great information and presentation. Thank you very much. Now I understand why one of pretty fat tuber didn't produce leaves nor flowers. I planted it along with other tubers but...nothing happened! Well... it didn't have an eye or any roots but it looked soooo healthy, I didn't have a heart to "throw it away". It still does look fat and healthy but...it's going to compost bin. Who knew!?

[@henrikssonlina]

I have a question that I can't find the answer to anywhere! I dug up my tubers for their winterrest one week ago (I live in a cold climate so we're getting frost any day now) and when I checked on them today one of them had started to produce new shoots. What do I do now?? Let it shoot in the winter enviroment? Remove the shoot? Put the dahlia outside for a few days so it understands that winter is coming? Or give up on overwintering it?

[@Lyddiebits]

Whatever ended up happening?????

[@henrikssonlina]

@@Lyddiebits I removed the shoots and put them in a colder enviroment. The problem was that it was a higher humidity in that enviroment so they ended up rotting 😔 Trying again this year! 💪

[@sparkfishes]

Oh ! Grocery bags are usually PAPER in the USA and I can see that is what you have used. So ! I am just pointing this out as many countries, like England use plastic bags for groceries ( paper bags are very rare here) Do Not Use plastic shopping / Grocery bags 🇬🇧 Great video , thanks

[@Maffoo]

Equally you'd probably want to avoid storing them at 40-50c 😉

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Great information. I have two Dahlias, maybe 4 after I pull them from pot. Squirrels took my 3rd one before it ever got started. 🤐🤗

[@AniesKalavara]

Nicely explained. Thank you

[@markma3005]

Hi. I just planted some dahlias today that I bought from Home Depot. However, one of the tuber clumps seems to have every section of it’s root broken, though they are still attached. Will that tuber make it or is it dead? I planted it along with my other more healthy looking tubers.

[@yvonnedeboer7845]

An excellent video!

[@mastergardenerlivingstontr7672]

Can you store the tubers in soil

[@inyobill]

I bought a commercial packaged tuber. I'm seeing I should store the bundle and plant in the spring? Is this correct? They're grown as perennials here in our neck of Germany. It looks like most to all people just leave hem in the ground over winter. Hard, long frosts are rare here in in North Rhine-Westphalia.

[@derekpercy7787]

Thanks for the Brilliant advice :) Great video - Thank you

[@k.w.churchill4397]

And Old Biker gave me a handfull of these mid summer. Its about time to dig and store them now. No Black Dahlias Mike!!, 67 Electra-Glide runs good!

[@davidburns7423]

[@jlcmlc40]

Excellent video. Thanks

[@CarmelFan2024]

Amazing tutorial! So helpful. Thank you❤️

[@ginajust-me2445]

Where do I get tubers?

[@amyzhao2908]

I keep the tubers under the ground, by covering them a thick tree branches and leave. But this video reminds me one thing: the tuber needs to be divided to grow more flowers. Maybe it is the reason I get less flowers this year.

[@sheilabroad8192]

What happens if you leave it in the ground over winter?

[@Trthsker24]

I'm a little late on this but, what about small potted ones? I brought the pot indoor a month ago. Do I just leave them in soil indoors through winter? Or do I dig them out and store? Thsnks..

[@sun9912]

Yes

pretty clear alright even to me

[@mariselabadillo]

I live in growing zone 9b. We don’t generally “freeze” in this area, do I still need to dig and overwinter in my area?

[@vallee3140]

I've never dug mine up, I just cover the crown with quite a bit of soil to protect it.

I'm 6b, I leave 2 large dinner plate style in the ground and pop out the smaller ones

@@vallee3140 am looking for this reply so long.. thanks

[@sophiemah2957]

no, not at all. You would leave yours in the ground, but may need to split them to get more flowers. I live in a zone 3 and I certainly would need to dig them up.

[@guadalupestewart8138]

Can dahlia be planted year after year in the same area?

[@WhiteFlowerFarm]

Hi Guadalupe, yes, technically Dahlias can be planted in the same area year after year, but it's an invitation for leaf hoppers so we wouldn't recommend it.

[@craftsandstuff3349]

What place gets down to 50 degrees but doesn't freeze? We just have an outdoor shed or the house, nothing else. What can you do in this case?

[@sophiemah2957]

she is obviously talking about 50F, which is only 10C, nice and cool but above the freezing point of 0C.

[@specialteams5092]

We heat our garage in the winter at 50 degrees. Not sure if that’s an option for you.?

[@westhavenor9513]

We have a small shed that's attached to the house (one shed wall is the exterior wall of the house). It's perfect, 40-50F and 70%RE. The house keeps it above freezing.

[@eaglelight108]

Which is better younfeel? Saran Wrap for I to some peat?

[@maria-undermitglimmerloft24]

When dividing the plants, should there only be one eye on each piece or is it okay to have two or more eyes on the same piece if it's difficult to the divide the stem into many pieces?

[@simoncryer7821]

I'd have thought it would be absolutely fine - you'll just get two shoots (or more) from that piece rather than just one.

[@sue6410]

I wasn’t clearly seeing if she used any of the media she pointed to?

[@brankenflowery8416]

It would be interesting to see what white flower farm really looks like. Y’all are super duper expensive.

How to plant dahlias

[@frznrrfan.frznrrfan102]

What do you do if your stored tubers start sporting and have shoots but it's still to cold to put outside.

[@othonnag]

Robert, I keep mine potted in the basement for the winter, dormant. Some have started to sprout and send up shoots. I water them a little and at some point will just prune back to have a bushier plant. Those that haven't sent up any growth, later this month I will take out of the pots, take any division I want, or not, let those heal and re-pot in smaller containers to "wake them up". Then, when the frosts have passed, I will pot outside in large pots for the season. I am in Minneapolis zone 5/4.

[@mollyv8b705]

@@othonnag so you always keep your dahlias in pots?

[@sparkfishes]

🇬🇧 The (USA) grocery bags are brown PAPER it should be noted .....we very rarely get those in England so newspapers or brown wrapping paper should be used.

[@psilver03]

oops, I should've watched your video before frantically digging up today. lol

[@pozzee2809]

Same here

[@AR-fy2qo]

Let's avoid plastic wrap.

[@stephenboraston6930]

Put in countless Dahlias and all fail,slugs and snails love them, yes need 1hr each night and a torch as slight pellets dont work!!!!

[@tomaszpilat5840]

Mix a teaspoon of DAWN dishwashing liquid and 500 mL of water and spray it on the leaves and stems every few days, or at least after the rain.
