@@CaliKim29 I am in south central WI, zone 5a. We can experience one or two polar vortexes each winter with temps way below zero for days. I learn a lot from many gardeners, for example, never would have thought about growing dahlias. I also learn from some RUclips gardeners I do not care for, I watch their videos for a different perspective, but seldom comment, most of the time they never reply anyhow. Actually, I was going to post a Awesome-OK - and sucky garden tour, then it began to rain, ist time in 2 weeks, yeh. Your garden is beautiful, mine is a bit more, rough. I let things hang around for keeping living roots in the soil before the next planting, and let flowers go to seed for the birds. That is what I truly love about gardening, it is so individual. I am in my later years, I need to take care of my Kathy, can no longer go kayaking, camping, the list is too long, but I can garden and bring nature into my backyard. I will let you know when I post that video, have not posted since I planted potatoes in the spring, potatoes fell into the OK category, mainly because of my lovely jumping worms. Sorry I go on and on, I just love talking gardening. Stay Well!!!!
Got it! My 2 dahlias are Vancouver (white & magenta) North facing front yard entry way. They've turned completely brown, sickly, powdery mildew. I've left other tubers in the ground & they never came back. This year I shall dig up & store.
Grew Dalias for the first time this year, so this was very useful and relevant information for me. And perfect timing for me as frost is around the corner here in Michigan. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Glad it was helpful, Anandian ! Let me know how it goes. If you find my content helpful please subscribe!! Seems like Winter is taking its time out here in Calif.! CaliKim
Hi Kim!! This is my first time growing dahlias. I just knew that I had killed it. It just took a while to grow. Then I think the heat stressed it out but the flower is now looking so pretty. I have even bought smaller one as well. I will try to stake up the bigger one. It is starting to get cooler here. It now goes down to the 40's at night but 70 to 80 during the day. They are still budding and sending up flowers. I am just not sure when I should call it quits on them and dig up the tubers? Thanks Kim for starting me on the Dahlia journey. Take care.
I like to store my tubers in vermiculite in plastic shoe boxes. Storage temp 40-50 degrees. If I leave them in the ground for the winter, I mulch with leaves, cover with plastic or a tarp and put more mulch and soil on top. Western WA is wet in the winter and it's important to protect them from too much rain which can cause rotting.
Great tip! This is brilliant. I love that you thought out of the box (no pun)and experimented etc., Laura. If you find my channel helpful - please subscribe. CaliKim
I planted my Daliah plant in a small one gallon. But I want to try and keep the plant alive over the winter. What type of pot should I keep it in until spring? I have hard frosts.

Cool. Yours are so tall. I have never had them grow that tall.
Perhaps it was the direct sunny spot that they are in!!! Thank you! They are beautiful to look at !!

We just cover ours up with leaves and grass. We are in 8a, works great.
LOVE it, Rick! That's great that you have it dialed in!!! Thank you for subbing, too!!!

Hi Kim
When spring gets here in May I will split my tubers up. I love that Dalia support rack, got to get some!
Please share what variety that yellow dahlia is with the red streaks. That is a truly stunning flower, thanks for the storage tips CK.
I wonder if that dahlia is Gloriosa.
@@laurahiggins4712 That's it! Thank you Laura.
