DIG UP YOUR DAHLIAS

DAHLIAS can be lifted now, or after the autumn’s first frost. You can cut away all top-growth, leaving short stumps. The tubers can be stored dry. However, they will also keep well if planted in large pots somewhere that is frost-free. Dahlias left in the ground will need extra protection. Surround them with thick mulch such as potting medium, home-made compost or leaf-mould as a frost buffer.
