I missed dividing the tubers this season, however I successfully divided them up to four inches in height. I had to cut them while still in the ground the lifted them out and transplanted them in other parts of the garden. The weather has been super with spring showers which helped establish them before the summer heat. I love scattering them in sunny parts of the garden. I'm in my seventies and have always been around them, but despite that they never appealed to me. My mum and her generation adored them now I've gone madly in love with them.

I live in a very dry climate with hard packed clay ( good soil in its own right ) not a humidity area, your hacks are not appropriate for here

I found this just in time to divide my tubers--first time ever!!! Thanks--I'm subscribing for sure!

So my dahlias are huge and i need to divide them just because of how hard they are getting to dig up in the fall (I leave in New England) Are there any tubers that are unnecessary for the dahlia that are good to trim and toss or are they all important unless dead or dried up?

This is an excellent video. Concise, well edited and NO annoying background music!!! I appreciate the more dense tight clusters. I was a bit intimidated by those than the longer floppy tuber ones... I will have more confidence in the spring to divide these... Thanks

Quick question.. is it important to watch for eyes if I am going to partially split tubers in the fall but do more splitting in spring? I am in The Boston Area.

Best video I've seen! Thank you so much, I actually understand what I'm doing now. Didn't separate my tubers last year so I'm excited to do it now.

Thank you! This is just brilliant and an excellent instructional video.

Thank you for this video! I was so overwhelmed to divide tubers for the first time but you made it seem doable. I’ve just finished dividing my tubers for the first time and I feel like I’ve done a fairly decent job for a novice!!

Great videos, thankyou.

That's exactly my tool kit for most things in my garden. I am lost without my hori hori ! Thanks for posting a very helpful clear video.

why divide dahlia tubers at all? Won't they make bigger plants if not divided?

Great video, so helpful! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge . Only one comment, it was difficult to see what criteria you were using to divide the tubers.

Excellent video and very well explained I just bought some tubers Each is a separate tuber. Wish me luck. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Will b planting them soon. Hailing from Zimbabwe

Great video!

I got some dahlia tubers this past spring and threw them in the end of my tomato beds. Wow, no tomatos but the dahlia blooms are up to are 8 inches across, and gorgeous deep reddish purple color. They are mop headed, and don’t absorb water to stay hydrated so well once they are cut and in a vase. Not sure what that means! In mid October the flowers are going strong. I need to know everything!

Apparently you can eat them

Wonderful video! Thank you for the detailed explanation :)

I am 73 but not an experienced gardener. We have brought in our geraniums for years but I never had dahlias, this spring I planted them but the deer loved them. I would wait for the bud to bloom only to find it eaten. I finally got a product to "discourage" the deer, but too late for any blooms. If I dig them up and bring them in as house plants, should I cut the stems down?

Very helpful. Could you tell me the needle nose snips brand? Difficult to find ones that are strong enough to divide dahlias

Hi ! I have just watched some of your Dahlia videos. I live in Northern Ireland and planted dahlias in containers but they didn’t flower 😢 well I had a few very tiny flowers. Any advice? We did have a very wet and sunless summer!!(typical Irish weather!😂) Grateful for your expert advice

Lovely and very comprehensive information Evelyn! Thank you very much from Northern Ireland!

Thanks Eve!

Thanks Eve!

Love your videos! very helpful. Butm, made me really nervous to see your dogs sniffing at them. I raise goldens. tubers are toxic and Ive had to dose 3x ,one that ate part of a tuber, please be careful and maybe warn people. not near dogs, e tc,

I literally just subscribed to your channel, It was easy to follow your advise. I am a new Dahlia grower and look forward to watching more of your videos and learning how to become a seasoned Dahlia grower.

Thank you, i have learned soo much. Im a first time Dahlia grower and ive had a great show this year. Im going to store my tubers for next year, now i know what to do with them.😁

What do you do with dahlia tubers that do not have an eye? Can they be planted and will they grow more tubers with eyes?

What a terrific video. So informative. Thank you

Informative, well presented and great value.

Home dahlia gardener watching from NZ. Love Love Love watching your videos. They are nice and slow so everything is very clear. Thank you.

This was such a good video to explain how it's done!

Hi Evelyn, can i keep dahlia tubers out of the ground if purchased too late for planting, or will they wither & die. great channel what i've seen so far, Thanks Rob

Brilliant vid, the best I've seen on splitting, so I will be sharing!!

Thanks for the great video Should I pull the clusters every year from the ground or just leave them alone for next year??? How long they have to take be chilled at what temperature to be ready for growing??? And how to keep them, not to go completely dry and dead, keep in dark place??? Thanks

Glad to hear how you store your dahlias because I stored mine in an open box in my garage 2023-2024 and they all survived! In the past I have tried storing the tubers wrapped in newspaper and placed in a closed container and not many survived. I live on the coast of MA. Maybe we just had a mild winter. But I'll store them like you again. I tuned in to learn how to divide dahlia tubers and got a great education! Thank you

Thank you ❤

Does the clumps get eaten by moles?

Help - Complete novice with Dahlias. Thank you for your videos. Can i rescue an enormous root of Crazy Love that has already starting shooting but has been munched my slugs before I noticed. At first I had no idea what was growing in the pot. I couldn't recognise the leaves as they had been eaten down. I removed the whole thing from the pot and hosed it down to clean it. Am I too late to rescue it? Add to this the fact that after looking back on my blog I see that I had put two varieties in the same pot the other being ponpom Snowflake. Maybe the Crazy Love overpowered the smaller one. I remember that this Crazy Love did throw up a massive flower last year after nothing the previous year.

One of the best videos for this. Lesson learned even though I washed them off in the fall, wash them off much more cause its spring and the stem bases have nice hard pkugs of earth yay.
