When can I plant dahlia bulbs in soil?

Hi All,

For the first time I have saved few dahlia tubers from last season. As suggested by members in this forum I am successful in keeping them dormant.
Now, when is the best time to put them out in the soil?
What will happen if I just put them in the soil without separating them?
Temps is not so great in NJ right now.

Would appreciate your response.

Thank you in advance.
Anna

RE: When can I plant dahlia bulbs in soil?

I planted mine right after easter last year and had no problems wait for the ground to dry out first. You want to keep them dry and above freezing. Usually take a couple weeks to come out of the ground so late frosts shouldnt be a problem. You could go with may 1st if you want to play it safe.
