Saving and storing dahlias over winter

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Dahlias are tender and the first frost of the year will turn their foliage black, this is a good sign that it's time to do something with the tubers/roots to protect them from the worst of the winter weather. Like a lot of other tender plants it's not generally the cold that kills them, but the combination of cold and wet that freezes the roots so if protected with a mulch or straw covering they can often be left in the ground but if they are in containers or if you have a heavy soil it's a good idea to lift them.

I watched and thumbs up I have loads of dahlias in pots in greenhouse that did close to nothing this year and potted glads the same. Several in the ground, 1 flowered.DAMN! I shall probably buy new stock next year. I'm not digging the glads up but may mulch them. Hmmmm?. THANK YOU/
another great interesting video thanks for all your videos in 2017 thanks for your time 🐝🐞🐤👍👍👍
Thanks once again for your continued support, it is appreciated.
Great video - when is the best time to plant them out again?
If you've got a greenhouse or somewhere with a little bit of protection from cold weather, you can pot them up in late March/early April, otherwise pot them up in late April.
@@UKGardening Thanks for the advice
If you leave them in the ground for winter with heavy mulch on top. How often do you have to sprinlke some water(in winter) ? Thank you
If left in the ground over winter, I wouldn't water at all. They won't be growing, so it isn't necessary. When you start to see shoots appearing (probably in a couple of weeks from now) you can then start to water, if the ground is dry.
