| Last year I planted several of the dwarf "Mystic" varieties purchased blooming in pots. I think paid about $8 each. They bloomed nicely all last summer. When I dug them up last winter, the tubers were nice and plump like potatoes, but no eyes or buds. Nothing to divide. I replanted them and none of them have come up this year. Zip. Nada. My other dahlias adjacent to them are doing great. Is this common? Is there anything I can do to stimulate them. Does anyone think I should I demand my money back from the nursery for pricey annuals? |

| I am going through the same thing. Planting nice hard tubers with eyes sprouted and they rot. We have had a wonderful Spring with dry weather. Perfect for tubers. I think I have lost 15 or so as some are just sitting and doing nothing. |

| What is their guarantee? Most places only guarantee their tubers to grow the first season. You might be out of luck if they didn't come back after your overwintering them. It doesn't hurt to give them a call and see what they say. You could also gently dig a couple of them up and see if anything is going on. Maybe they're just late to sprout. I have a few I'm still waiting on. |
