Talkback: How to plant out dahlias

Today, 31 August, I found some old dahlia tubers at the back of the garage which have several shoots. Is there any point in planting them out in tubs? If not, do I discard them, or re-stoore them over winter?

    You could always use the shoots to take cuttings and have more dahlias next year.

     

  • No, I do not have a greenhouse.  I wondered whether I should pot them in some compost and try and give them a little bit of growth before storing them for winter again?

  • Thanks for the feedback - I potted them up sat them outside and they already have leaves appearing!!
