    Thanks Lyn. Maybe will move them near a radiator downstairs and give them some water. I thought the warmth of the sunny windowsill might help. The variety is Honka so maybe they are slow to shoot. Tubers were not massive though but think I can see eyes on them

    I potted mine up and put then on the GH shelf,  no heat, but I do wait until they show signs of shooting before doing so. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Thanks, hopefully will see some signs of growth soon. I wanted to try some cuttings from them also. I have 3 of them so maybe will try a few different methods.
  • my dahlia plants have a white dust on them any idea what this could be.

    @belldennis491 maybe mildew?

    My dahlias are still not showing. Got them from Sarah Raven and have lightly covered in compost on sunny windowsill. Should I mist them with water? It has been 3 weeks now and no show yet  :(
    Im having same problem, planted 6 tubers 3 weeks n only one came up. My first time planting this flower so not.sure what they are needing.

    My problem was from March  :D They are growing away nicely now and I have planted out half of them in garden. Sarah Raven kindly sent me some replacement tubers double the size too and I managed to take a few cuttings that are doing well too. Hopefully get some nice blooms in summer. No slug damage yet thankfully  :)
