Store each clump of tubers in a ventilated box or basket. Fill the box with slightly moistened sand, peat moss or vermiculite and place it in a cool, dry location with temperatures that remain between 45 and 55 degrees F. Check tubers periodically through winter for rotting and drying out.
How do you keep dahlia bulbs over the winter?
The key to successfully storing dahlia tubers for the winter is making sure they stay dry, have good air circulation and are in a cool, dark spot. You can store the tubers in a variety of containers – milk crates, plastic bins, paper bags, and cardboard boxes all do the trick. You may choose to pack them in peat moss.
Can I leave dahlia tubers in pots over winter?
Potted Dahlias Keep the dahlias in their pot over winter. Keep the pot in a cool, dry, dark place that doesn’t freeze. Don’t water it, just let it stay dry.
