digging up dahlia bulbs

carla102
10 years ago

Hello
I have a bunch of dahlia bulbs I planted that never came up this summer (I think the spot was too shady). I'd like to try again with these bulbs next summer in a sunnier spot. I have read here that you should wait until later in the fall to dig up bulbs that have flowered, but what about in my case? Is there even a possibility they will bloom again, or are they a lost cause at this point?
