small bedding dahlias
« on: November 19, 2012, 10:51 »
I've just dug them up today. Do I split those which have made quite a few corms, or leave them in a cluster? How do I store them? When do I repot them?

Ta in advance.

The small bedding dahlias are normaly treated as annuals and just grown each year from seed. Its the larger ones that need the routine of storing tubers etc. Its a few years since I grew  them but they were really easy from seed with just about 100% germination.
Sets a low standard and fails to achieve it.

Well, I was going to chuck 'em out, but they have made some really good tubers. Plenty of 'em too. Seems a shame not to do anything with them.
