| I just purchased my first dahlia's and they are packaged in a plastic bag in peat moss. I can't plant out until the end of the month or beginning of May. They have sprouted some long whitish looking sprouts in the bag! Should I cut them off and plant in a pot until I am able to plant out? |

| Just pot them up and place near a well-lit window - the white shoots will green up in no time, so don't remove them. My over-wintered dahlias in the basement are showing exactly such sprouts, and I will be potting them up soon - this also gives them a head start, and therefore earlier blooms! |

| Don't panic, it's actually a good sign...at least you know they are good tubers! Just pot them up as soon as you can, they will be just fine. |
