| Thanks to the wonderful instructions on this site, I've gotten my dahlias either separated or split. The ones I had to cut, I dusted with fungicide...how long before I can plant them? Here in zone 8, dahlias can be left in the ground all winter, and the soil is already warm. |

| When your soil reaches 60* you should be good to go and not have rotted tubers due to cool soil AND spring rains. Many will say you can plant them anytime because you keep them in the ground but I would play it safe and wait till the soil was 60* so they can combat the heavy Spring showers. I am very jealous that you can leave them in the ground : ) Happy Gardening Keriann~ |

| Thanks Keriann. I'm REALLY happy I can leave them in the ground. If not, my house would be turned over to the tubers and hubby and I would be consigned to winter outdoors! |
