WHEN should you dig up your dahlia tubers? One of the most common questions we receive right now is “Do you have to wait for a killing frost before you can dig up your dahlia tubers and store them?” The answer might surprise you! NO. You do NOT have to wait for a killing frost to hit your garden or farm, before you can start to dig. Here’s what you DO have to wait for: You’ll want to wait until 100-120 days after the solar equinox, which is on June 20th. The reason for waiting until 120 days aft

If you’re wondering if you can dig your dahlias before frost, you CAN, *but* be very, very careful how you handle your tubers after digging! 👩‍🌾🌿 Some gardeners believe it’s not safe to dig dahlias until after a hard frost, but as our friends in zones 9 and 10 (where it rarely frosts) can attest, and as we’ve learned after many years of extensive experiments, your tubers will keep just fine if dug before frost, as long as they are PROPERLY DRIED and then PROMPTLY STORED.

It’s dahlia digging season! 😅🪏 ✂️ 🥔 Dahlia tubers can’t freeze or they’ll rot & turn to mush, so here in our zone we must dig them up every fall. We dig, wash & divide (to multiply our stock) and store them safely all winter long so that we can ensure we have these beauties for seasons to come. It’s super labour intensive, and many days of working from sun up until sun down…but they’re worth it because I can’t imagine a season without dahlias in it.

Here’s how to harvest and save seeds from your dahlia plants! Due to cross pollination, the seeds you save will look different from their parent plant. I love seeing the cool colors and petals on new seed dahlias! You should start dahlia seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost for your area. #gardening101 #mastergardener #flowerfarmer #dahlia #seedsavingtips

Growing dahlias from seed is fun and exciting because you never know what kind of dahlia you’re going to get. Unlike tubers, dahlia seeds produce a new and unique dahlia plant. If you’re going to grow dahlias from seed, you want to start them about 4-6 weeks prior to your last frost date. Any sooner and you’ll risk them getting leggy and you’ll have huge plants growing in your home ;) Dahlia seeds don’t have the best germination, I’ve seen anywhere from 20-80% germination rate on seeds.

Dahlias! 🌸 If you’be never grown dahlias, I highly recommend trying it out this year in your garden! 🪏 Dahlias are super easy to care for and grow the most beautiful flowers all summer and right through until the first frost in the fall. 🪴 A summer garden with dahlias is always a show stopper. If you live in Canada (and many other cold places) you can dig up the dahlia tubbers in the fall and store them indoors for the winter to be planted out again in the garden in spring time.

Here are my three essential tips for growing dahlias this summer that will help you achieve stronger plants and more abundant blooms. 1. Wait until after the last frost when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F (typically late spring to early summer, around May in most regions). Planting too early in cold, wet soil risks tuber rot. 2. Insert sturdy stakes (such as bamboo, metal rods, or tomato cages) right at planting time or shortly after sprouts appear. This prevents damage to the tubers and

Waking Up Our Dahlia Tubers If your last frost date is about 4-6 weeks away (or you want to take cuttings to propagate) you should think about taking your dahlia tubers out of storage and waking them up for the season. This step is not required but some like to get an early jump on the season. But don’t start too early, especially if you don’t have a bright sunny location to move them to when they start sprouting. You also may use this time to split the larger clumps. You need to make sure each

Dividing dahlias video for all you spring dividers! Important notes! •Some people like to divide the clump in half before they start dividing. This isn’t my preference, but it’s a totally valid way to do it if it’s easier for you. •it’s especially important to get part of the crown with each tuber. I aim for a one cm piece with each one. •The eyes are the most visible right after you dig, due to being swollen from moisture. If you’re dividing in spring they’ll be harder to see: look for tiny pim

5000 more plants to go… Every fall I dig up my entire dahlia field so they can be divided in preparation for our tuber sale in late winter. It’s a long process, but it’s also always exciting to see how they did through the season! Usually I will cut down a whole row before digging up, but I also have cut and dug as I go with great results. I store as unwashed clumps in crates in our climate controlled cooler until I’m ready to divide. This has worked well in my climate to keep them firm and in p
