Frosted dahlias
« on: May 07, 2012, 11:17 »
I've had some get caught by frost in the polytunnel.

What is best course of action.

Cut off frosted leaves and cross fingers.

leave well alone and see what happens.

Take tubers out of pots and replant.

Chuck em all away!!

If it were me, I'd cut off the frosted leaves and bring the dahlias into somewhere warmer for a while.

The tubers should be fine and I would expect them them to grow more shoots  :)

As long as it was only a mild frost , the shoot's will recover or the tuber will send up new shoot's.
