I have never grown dahlias but I have just bought one at a church coffee morning. It hasn't a name, just labelled 'yellow/orange' - I do hope its a lovely compact shape like this one :)

Oh Gee now that you have one .you,ll be addicted,before long you,ll be on the look out for another ..and another I just love them .....

I've always avoided them because of the lifting of the tubers! If I grow them in pots can I just move them into the greenhouse?

I,ve never grown them in pot,s Gee but I would think it would be ok to put into the greenhouse as long as you dont water them untill spring time ....
As a rule I always lift them ,but this year I am going to leave them see what happens ,well thats the plan ,but I might not be so brave when autumn comes lol

Beautiful......I have always left mine in the ground and they have been ok....I just lift the ones i want to propagate from.....The bad winter killed off nearly all my tubers...So im going to be a bit afraid to leave them this winter....But yes they can be grown in pots and over-wintered under cover and kept completely dry....:>)

Now I do the complete opposit...I lift them ,but for some reason ,the ones in the greenhouse went to mush ,,,left a few in by mistake and they survived outside in all that bad weather we had
...I am sad I lost all my other Dahlias ,,but it,s been fun waiting for the new one,s to flower ...I say I am going to leave them to fend for themself.s this winter but when the times comes I might not be so brave .....
