Plants
Planting dahlias yesterday. What can I do with these broken off tubers? If I plant them will they throw up shoots?

compost bin. They don't have a bit of "stem" on them, so they won't shoot

Thanks Hostafan1. Did wonder if that would be the outcome. Fairly new to dahlias so helpful to know.

I think we've all planted them up in the past, "just in case" but without a stem they just rot

Don't be so hasty.
You might be lucky. I tried the same with a few similar chunks and one of them has just started shooting. Given it's so easy to chuck one in a pot of compost it's worth a go, might get an extra plant.
