Each spring we plant one individual tuber. These potato looking fingers grow more within the soil, so that by fall, we can dig them up and divide. One tuber might yield 6 or more new tubers that can then again be planted. This process repeats itself every year.
Nothing about harvesting dahlia tubers is short work. It takes us weeks to get everything out of the ground and prepared for winter storage. Every clump is hand dug with a pitchfork, rinsed, cured, divided, and finally, put into storage where they receive daily checks.
CLOSED! Congratulations to Sabrina! Winner receives a box of a dozen your-choice dahlias from our collection. To enter, simply leave a comment below and share what new flower varieties you hope to grow this year.
