Do you store your dahlias in sand? I've not had a lot of success with over wintering dahlias. I clean them up, dry them as much as I can, and store them in a pot with holes in it, but nine times out of ten, they rot.

Where do you keep the pot Constance?....When they dry out properly, i wrap them in newspaper and store them in boxes, in the dark, in my stone shed where the boiler is housed..Its frost-free in there, so its ideal...I have very few losses....Sometimes, if the Dahlia has been growing in a pot i just let the pot dry out and store them that way, pot and all....But they must be dry and kept frost-free....:>)

My mistake is probably that I leave them in (v. cold) garage during winter. Have quite a few in this year and so will have to find somewhere a bit warmer for them. Thanks, Motinot : o ))

You are welcome....It doesnt have to be a warm place Constance...too much heat would make them shrivel...Just frost-free...:>)
