  • Dahlias are an increasingly popular cut flower to grow- grown by both beginning gardeners + seasoned flower farmers alike...
    And for good reason!
    Dahlias are beautiful, prolific and relatively easy-to-grow.
    The magic of dahlias is that you can continue to have dahlia tubers for many years to come if you learn to care for them properly.
    In this video, I plan to share with you how with a little time + effort (and a healthy amount of patience), your initial investment of dahlias can reward you with blooms for years to come. It's truly the gift that keeps on giving!

    Thank you for your videos. Love them 😊After six years growing Dahlias here in Norway. Whats work best for me is to store them ,cleaned of dirt, in newspaper, in a paperbag. About 8 dg celsius. Devide them in spring. Work 100 pr.sent.for me.

    Great video. It's been too long. You are appreciated, and your videos looked forward to. Stay well and remain positive. I garden in northcentral Indiana.

    Over the past four years Ive stored majority in clumps covered in their dirt. Mixed results; this year I grew half the amount and limited varieties to 9. I’m going to try to divide in the fall and store in bins this year. Usually I’m so burned out this time of year

    • @twosistersflowerfarm
      @twosistersflowerfarm  2 місяці тому

      I can 100 percent relate to that feeling of overwhelm this time of year! My motto is to do what you can and don’t stress over the rest.. it will all work out!

    TY so much for the camera close to tuber and your hands so we could really see. Question. I have sprouts on some, I noticed on yours also. What happens to the sprouts? Thanks and so so good to see you. Love to hear how Mums went this year

    • @twosistersflowerfarm
      @twosistersflowerfarm  2 місяці тому +1

      It’s alright if the sprouts get knocked off during the dividing and/or storing process.. they’ll resprout when planted! For this video, I did allow the sprouts to get nice and to hopefully make it easier to see the eyes on camera :)

    Do you put the lid on the sterlite containers?

    • @twosistersflowerfarm
      @twosistersflowerfarm  2 місяці тому

      Yes I do. I’m careful to monitor my tubers throughout the winter and if I see that too much condensation is forming in the containers, I’ll often remove the lids to keep the tubers from rotting. Good luck!

    How long do you let the cuts cure.before you store them?

    • @twosistersflowerfarm
      @twosistersflowerfarm  2 місяці тому +1

      I typically wait only a few hours between dividing and storing

    • @livvig
      @livvig 2 місяці тому

      Good question. Thanks. Wonderd about that to.

    My most successful methods of storage are paraffin and saran wrap.
