I received these from a grower a few weeks ago, some were fine and I’ve already potted them up to begin waking them. Then a couple others looked pretty shriveled, should I be okay or should I contact the seller?
This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

Is this how they looked weeks ago when you received them, or how they look now weeks later? They look pretty shriveled but if you’ve had them for weeks unprotected and drying out then most growers will not take responsibility at this point. I’d get them potted up or wrapped in plastic wrap asap if you want them to have a chance of surviving.

The shrivelled ones are done for but the one in the middle looks viable
