Very informative and even entertaining. I haven’t been sure what part of the tubers, or how much of them, I can cut and discard but this has helped. Thank you!

Fantastic, clear information esp about the stem connection. I would probably have chopped it off!. These days I have bottles of sanitising alcohol around the place so might do better cleaning the secateurs.

My basement is not as cool as I would hope (1st world problem, I know)so my wintering over is never as 100% as I hope, but I persist. One note: Mice like to taste dahlia tubers. Si I store them in an open top plastic bucket, and that seems to keep them at bay.

In reply to Blooms and Beasts. Gof or it! See if you find a difference between dividing them in the fall, to doing it in the spring.
