Bit late with my dahlia. Today I found a forgotten dahlia in a pot in the shed. There are yellow shoots about 3 inches high. Should I cut them off?

I would just plant it outside either in a pot or in a border, see what happens. I left mine in the ground this year due to mild winter and they are just sprouting now.

Thanks everyone. I would like to plant some in the ground and it's a mild area of the country, but protecting from slugs is hard enough in pots. I use copper tape round the pots which works well.I
think I'll try some in the ground this year.
