...just dug up my dahlia and hold found I now own a profusion of tubers - I grew them from seed so enjoy no experience with tubers and storing over winter. Can anyone afford me some advice please? Thanks contained by advance.
Answers: Remove as much soil as you can.. Do not deface the tubers . Cut the stems off a couple of inches away from the tuber... Dust next to flowers of sulphur and keep dry.. Keep out of frost also.... A shed is fine... Some citizens hang them upside down. I used to hold on to them in trays of dry peat. In spring cover the tubers near a couple of inches of peat or compost, and water. When shoots appear they can be put into pots prior to planting out contained by April/May or you can take cuttings to increase your stock.
In a shed or garage keep watch on for frost on them
