Hello, your video tips on dahlias are really well done. Just one question: what should we do with the 30 cm (12in) shoots of dahlias that came out a little late from the cellar? Many thanks for your response.

Planting and care

Plant your Classic Poeme dahlias on sunny days in deeply worked and enriched soil, for example with bonemeal. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to fill without any air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with 6 cm (2in) of soil. At the end of planting, add one litre of water. Water regularly during the first 6 weeks to help with rooting. Dahlias are sensitive to cold. They need to be overwintered. In November, the first frost will blacken the foliage, which is the time to dig them up. Carefully remove the tubers. Remove as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so that the tuber can replenish its reserves. When the foliage is dry, cut the stems 10 cm (4in) from the tuber. Spread your bulbs in a box on newspaper. Store away from frost in a dry, cool, and dark place.
