And how do you care for dahlias in pots over winter?

Also, if you are growing dahlias in containers, this video will cover the important considerations regarding whether to pull the tubers out or leave them be. Did you know some people will move their entire pots into their garage for winter storage? Watch to learn more!
My name is Eve Hanlin and I’m a dahlia farmer from the PNW, USA. I have learned a lot through trial and error, and am excited to be sharing growing tips with you.
My next video, part 2, will cover digging and storing. I’m filming it now and will post it in a few days. In the meantime, check out this blog post.

Finally a sensible video explaining what I should do with my dahlias in zone 9b. Thank you!

I’m in Scotland. Last year I dug up my white dahlias from one section of my garden, the rest random planted ones I cut and left. Cold winter, always raining. All survived. 😊

Love your videos! I'm not sure if it is your presentation style or your common sense, simple approach to growing dahlias, but you take the mystery and stress out of digging/cutting/storing dahlia tubers. As a first year dahlia grower, I watch other videos of people butchering dahlia tubers and feel so stressed and overwhelmed! After watching your videos, I think I am ready for my second season. I'll also check your website to see if you have any dahlias I can add to my ever-growing dahlia collection.

Thank you so much!! So kind of you to say this, I am so glad this video was helpful for you. If you have any other questions let me know! 💐💕

Thanks for your really great videos which are extremely informative. I am in the south of UK where winter temperatures do not tend to fall too far below zero. In winter I cut my dahlias back to ground level and select a flower pot, that upside down covers the top of the tuber. I fill it with mulch and place it over the dahlia, fixing the pot in the ground with soil around it. The flower pot gives added protection and importantly identifies where the tubers are. To save the dahlia area looking too bald in Spring and the sight of a lot of upside down flower pots the area is planted with low growing daffodils which have bloomed and finished by the time the dahlia shoots appear.

New dahlia grower here and I will study more and more of your videos. Thank you so much and keep up the great work. Wishing all the best for your life from Germany. Sending a heartly wuff, wuff to your dear dog.

Another benefit of living in a warm country. You answered what I needed to know. Our average winter nights are around 5 to 7C with about 5 nights of -1 to 0C. I'll cut them back and leave them where they are. Was worried as we have citrus growing with them and didn't want to disturb the roots.

Thanks for the tips. I’m very happy to hear that you went through the master gardeners training. I’m doing that right now, and constantly finding out how very little I know. So having access to your expertise is highly appreciated!

I wish I could treat Dahlias as perennials I live in zone 7 Juneau Alaska. I’ve seen them in Grays Harbor, when my Daughter and I moved there in October for a couple of years . Everything was blooming! It was so beautiful! But we couldn’t stay away from our Alaskan home. The difficulty of gardening here is legendary! Winter wet cold and dark 😖

EXCELLENT explanation and great information. Thank you!!

Loving these videos! I’m in Virginia, zone 7B and tried my first dahlias two summers ago tucked in a bed near the house. I let them overwinter covered in thick mulch and they came back beautifully! Silly me dug half of them up this past fall and they didn’t survive my garage overwintering method. My bad & I’m seriously sad! With the few I have left, I will be overwintering them with mulch again! Thank you for your great videos!

I love your videos. They are simply the best videos on dahlia care and dividing. Will there be more videos? I wouldn't mind just see you dividing dahlias.

Well done video! I'm in the Pacific Northwest also (WA). I have a clay-y soil and the cold and wet does kill mine. We get Northeasters right through our farm, so no way can they stay in ground, darn it! Thank you for the video.

@evelynsgardenandnursery 2 года назад

💐❤️ thanks for watching! Sorry to hear you don’t have the option to leave dahlias in the ground. Sounds like you’re in a chilly part of WA!

Extremely informative, and thank you for giving temperatures in both Farhenheit and Centigrade, as I'm in UK on quite well drained clay. I'm in Zone 8a, what's your Zone? It was -4C here last night, but thankfully I had dug up half of my dahlias last week and ran around and munched the rest yesterday morning. Fingers crossed.

@evelynsgardenandnursery 2 года назад

Hello Laurel, thank you, I'm so glad this video was helpful for you! I am in zone 8a too, but what the US Department of Agriculture calls zone 8a, I don't know if that means the same thing for you in the UK. Supposedly it means that the lowest we get down to is around 10 to 15 °F/-12.2 to -9.4 °C. I'm glad to hear you got your dahlias out in time! That's definitely one stressful thing about growing dahlias, trying to race the weather 😂💐!
