Dahlias
I grew dahlias from seed this year......I would like to move several of my favourite coloured plants. They are in full flower at the moment. .....would I cause too much damage to the plant if I move them now? I live in a mild area so there is never a need to lift and store them. Although my other dahlias were bought as corms.....not grown from seed.

If you lift them with a large rootball, and water them in well, they should survive. You may get some wilting and lose flowers. Another month and they will be dying down anyway. When I grew from seed, I marked the best , lifted and potted for winter, then repotted into larger pots when they started growing. Lifting and some protection means you get earlier flowers.
