No sign of life

17 years ago

I store my dahlia tubers in two ways. Some in gladbags with vermiculite and some in large plastic boxes filled with peat moss. The temperature averages 45* F. Checked today. No sprouts. Am I rushing the season or should I move tubers to warmer part of the basement. Steve in Baltimore County.

A warmer place will wake them up. They are still napping.

A warmer place & a bit of light should do the trick.
