Each year I lift,dry and dust in sulphur powder my dahlias and begonias.They are currently individually wrapped in newspaper and in a cardboard box.I have been flooded out of my house and will not return until late Autumn.Will the tubers and bulbs be ok next year if I leave them wrapped?They have not been affected by the flooding

Not really - you need to pot them into soil and get them growing. Chances are they'll dry out too much left for another year.

I agree with bamboo, they wont survive , I left begonias in the shed and didnt find them, they didnt do anything at all the next year.

sorry to hear you are flooded out. plants will not be at the forefrnt of things to do will it. Could you pass them on to a family member/friend to grow them on for you.
