In spring I remove my tubers from storage remove any diseased or damaged tubers and lay them on a bed on compost and give a gentle watering. When they being to produce growth buds I will then divide any tuber that has one than one variable buds before putting up. All tubers are then potted and left in the greenhouse until they are about a foot tall before being replanted into the garden beds or pots.
any new tubers I buynare treated the same as you can often get an extra plant out of a decent tuber.
To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.
I lift mine and plant them in old compost. I then leave them in a cold greenhouse, unwatered until spring. Seems to work. Best way to propagate is to take cuttings as they root in spring.

Lots of useful videos on how to "overwinter dahlias" on u-tube!
I looked at some last weekend!
Cheers!

Thank you all for support. Mine are in the cellar wellcovered in old papers and cardboard boxes.
I think they now have to show some selfsupport until May.
But indeed UTube is there also.
Have a nice rest of November
