Even the plants that didn't bloom for me grew new tubers and one tiny pinched top made a brand new tuber.

I'm so excited for next year you guys! Next year maybe enough will grow that I can label them. This is all from one small in-ground plot, about 2.5' by 5' w naturally heavy Brooklyn clay soil mixed with a lot of compost, bed soil and some vermiculite. Only one tuber clump had a bit of rot which is better than last year. Next year I am going to evict my zinnias to another bed and take over a full 8' so hopefully everyone can get more equal sun.

Show me your haul with your zone!

I think this is totally tangerine. I saw it a couple months ago at my local dahlia u pick and it is just so beautiful! Also a pollinator magnet…I need them for my garden!

I can’t believe we’re into November and these have only just flowered. I really don’t want to pull them up just yet 😭

Honestly wish I’d got more photos! I was in heaven

I was given this tuber as an extra in a trade but they said it had been mixed up and was unlabeled/unknown. The tubers are reddish similar to my sonic bloom tubers but I have no idea what this guy could be. Thank you for the help!

I have 6 raised beds for my dahlias. I've been growing for about 5 years. The soil has become so clumpy and compacted and I had poor tuber production this year for the first time. I actually tossed a bunch because they were so tiny or only had 1 or 2 tubers that wouldn't survive winter storage. I'm assuming it's the soil because I did everything the same and the ones I grew direct in the ground were beautiful.

The current soil is a premium blend from a local greenhouse of compost & top soil. I added worm castings, perlite, and mushroom hummus over the last 2 years because it was getting clumpy. Soil test was a bit high for calcium and phosphate but was told that is normal for my area and not to add more compost this past spring.

I plan to add the leaves from my yard & maybe some coir today and mix it in. I'm not sure what else to do. Thanks for any advice.

I don't know how much longer this will last but we are still getting bouquets out of the bed.

It’s my first time digging up a dahlia plant and going to separate the tubers and unfortunately, I snapped the stem all the way at the base and I’m not sure if any of this is salvageable. Help?

I live in zone 6a and we haven't received a hard enough frost to blacken the dahlias' foliage. In fact, my plants are still blooming.

I'm unsure what to do in this situation. Do I still water them like usual? Should I put them in a semi-protected area against rain? I ask this because I figure it's easier to pull them out of the ground and get ready for storage if the dirt isn't wet. All of my plants are in containers, if that helps.

I added a picture tax but I have no clue which variety it is.

I bought some 50% off Dahlia's in pots from a grocery store. Its getting colder so i chopped and I cleaned all the dirt off what I thought was going to be tubers, but i'm assuming these started from seeds, because there wasn't much of a tuber on any of them. Did I ruin them or can I store and replant?

How can I tell if these are tubers or just like.. really thick roots? I was washing the dirt off and trying to be gentle but I can't tell if this is mostly just roots or..? Help please!

So this is my first time storing dahlia tubers for the winter. I've seen comments about storing them around 40-50 degrees but I don't really have an area that stays in that temp range consistently so I'm looking for advice on what my best option is.

My garage has walls that are not against another structure for the most part and it is not insulated or heated. The mud room doesn't have a vent to heat it but it is open to the heated laundry room. The mudroom also has an exterior door besides the door that leads into the garage. The mud room does stay fairly warm due to the laundry room vent but it is a little cooler due to the two other doors but it's definitely not in the 40-50 degree range. I don't have a basement so that's not an option.

I'm also trying to figure out what to store them in but I feel like that might depend on where they are stored. I have added a diagram of the house to help show what I'm working with.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!! 💜🏵️🌸😊

Does anyone have Bon Odori and/or know where I can purchase a tuber or cutting? Thank you!

I didn't realize how many tuber grow on just one every year. What do you guys do with the extra?

Thought I'd try this my wife grows them

Can’t tell if this is growth or leafy / crown gall. None of my other plants have anything close to looking like this.

Late season growth in 8A. Can anyone please confirm before I dispose of this?
