How to protect this year's dahlia cuttings?

Hi,

How do you protect this year's dahlia cuttings in the winter coming?

 

@clum111 Were these cuttings taken this spring or later?
If this spring then, let them die down remove the tubers from the pot, leave to dry and then store in a cool frost free place until spring time then replant in pots.

 

Hi @NigelJ No these were taken around late June early July time.

 

I have, in one year, overwintered a late cutting.
To be on the safe side you have to keep them just ticking over all winter, so they need warmth and careful watering until next spring.

I doubt they will have made a decent tuber just yet.

 

Hi @pete I didn't expect them to have tubers at the moment, just wasn't sure if I could keep them in my cold greenhouse that will be bubble wrapped soon or kept inside the house?

 

I think you would need to keep them in the house once the weather turns cold, I'd go for a minimum of around 10c overnight, so a window sill maybe.

 

Thanks @pete I'll do that.
