Dahlia care
Hello all,
Can you give me some advice on Dahlia care? For the first time I’ve dug up my Dahlias and overwintered them as we had very severe frosts last year. I bedded them in straw and they all look quite healthy so I decided to pot them up before transplanting them later. I’m keeping them in my shed on a shelf by the window as I haven’t space in my greenhouse. Question is should I cover them in fleece in freezing weather or should I cover the top with straw?

I’d be very grateful for any advice as it’s proved invaluable in the past.
