Looking forward to the next one 😀

Hi Sheelagh did you get yours out as planned?

[@sheelaghomalley5459]

@@MoorfieldFarmFlowers No. I had to get the Christmas wreath samples done. Am starting tomorrow with a White waterlily dahlia (unknown name) that has been a workhorse for me. Hoping to divide into single tubers to multiply my stock.

OK good luck with that. We grow Cameo, a creamy white waterlily which is a beauty.

Thank you. Can I ask why you store these as clumps, but others as singles? Why would you not divide all your clumps as much as possible before you put them into storage?

[@MoorfieldFarmFlowers]

Hi again - my first answer covers this I think. Last year I divided all into singles to test the method (cling film wrapping), and it worked really well. But there is no "need" to do this. If you have only a small space to store then the clingfilm method is much more space-friendly, and easier to react if for instance a freeze is due - you can just bring the small box/es indoors. Hope this helps.
